''The Tragedy of Today's Gays'' is a 2005 book by gay activist Larry Kramer, in which the author prints a speech he delivered at New York City's Cooper Union Hall on November 21, 2004.〔Specter, Michael (November 22, 2004). ("Nowhere" ) ''The New Yorker''〕 In the speech, Kramer urges gay men and lesbians to take action, unite as a community, and embrace safer lifestyles. The speech led to a protest, two days later, against American General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who had previously called homosexuality "immoral."〔Buchanan, Wyatt (March 20, 2010). ("Larry Kramer thinks straight people hate gays" ) ''SF Gate/San Francisco Chronicle''〕 The speech is preceded by a foreword by Naomi Wolf. ==Criticism== The speech was deemed a "strident but truthful lecture" by ''The Boston Globe''. Jose Antonio Vargas, writing in ''The Washington Post'', called Kramer "tireless yeller" and described the book as "a sprawling polemic, a call to action, angry, frustrated, passionate."〔Vargas, Jose Antonio (May 9, 2005). ("The Pessivist: AIDS Activist Larry Kramer, Hoarse from speaking truth to power." ) ''The Washington Post''〕 and the book was cited by the Lambda Literary Foundation as evidence that Kramer had broken "new ground in the field of LGBT literature and publishing," leading the group to honor him with a Pioneer Award.〔Lambda Literary Foundation (April 1, 2010). ("Pioneer Awards" )〕
