The Larry Kramer Initiative for Lesbian and Gay Studies at Yale was founded in 2002 with a gift by Arthur Kramer in honor of his brother, author and activist Larry Kramer. The initiative supports the lesbian and gay community at Yale University through academic programs including lectures, conferences and symposia, special events, and community building activities.
