“The entire history of the LGBTQ movement is a story of the collaboration of culture and politics: how gay artists and gay activists worked in tandem to transform the world’s attitude toward what had been one of its most hated minorities for centuries. And no one combined their artistic and political talents more successfully to produce social progress than Kramer.” Charles Kaiser, NBCNews.com

He has also studied the personal archives of many of Kramer’s closest friends and opponents.
