Among his many honors, Kramer was named a Master American Dramatist by the Pen/Laura Pels International Foundation for Theater (2013) and his name was added to the National LGBTQ Wall of Honor in the Stonewall National Monument (2020). Kramer continued to write polemical fiction and nonfiction works through the end of his life. In 1987, Kramer was influential in the founding of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), a group that encouraged civil disobedience to draw attention to the government’s lack luster response to the continuing health crisis. Kramer’s best-known work is his play, A Normal Heart (1985, The Public Theater), which openly addressed the AIDS crisis it was later revived on Broadway (2011 Tony for Best Revival of a Play) and made into an HBO film (2014 Primetime Emmy Award) a sequel, The Destiny of Me, was produced in 1992 (Pulitzer Prize nominee, two Obie Awards, 1993).
