Tim Cook has paid tribute to Larry Kramer. The legendary LGBTQ activist, author, and playwright passed away on Wednesday, aged 84.
Larry Kramer ‘An American Original’
In a tweet, the Apple CEO described Mr. Kramer as “an American original” who “saved many LGBTQ lives” due to his work highlighting the AIDS crisis. Mr. Kramer set up support groups for gay men and also lobbied officials to take action. Mr. Cook also offered a quote from the playwright “as an example of a timeless truth.”
Mr. Cook regularly supports LGBTQ causes and has been given awards for his advocacy. Last year, Apple called on the Supreme Court to recognize LGBTQ rights.
