I found myself writing about gay health and no physician. Actually, I think again, physicians had written articles occasionally here and there, and they were openly gay physicians, but no one had ever written on a regular basis.
Larry D. Mass has dedicated his life to advocacy, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community. In this episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with Larry to explore his extensive work, from his early days with Larry Kramer at Act Up to his pioneering article on the AIDS crisis. Larry's journey is not just a tale of activism; it's a rich tapestry of personal and community triumphs and struggles.
He opens up about being a gay Jew, his love for Richard Wagner, and the unique challenges and joys that have shaped his life. Despite some audio issues, the conversation remains deeply engaging and informative. Jay and Larry also touch on the broader history of the gay community in the U.S., providing listeners with a comprehensive look at decades of advocacy and change.
Whether you're familiar with Larry's work or new to his story, this episode offers valuable insights into the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights and health.
