DescriptionThe Centre for Disease Control declared an epidemic in October 1981 when reports began surfacing of a rare cancer spreading amongst gay men. The writer Larry Kramer called a meeting at his apartment in January 1982, acknowledging that gay men had a health crisis and that they were to discuss the rare cancer and raise money for research, the result of which was the birth of the Gay Men's Health Crisis.
