SE2E3: Eric Marcus - Making Gay History

HAPPY LGBT HISTORY MONTH Making Gay History has been a top listen of mine for years, so when I started doing this series I knew that I wanted to ask Eric Marcus to join me for an episode. I've listened to the Making Gay History podcast and Eric's soothing voice so many times, so when he said he's be on the Queer Margins I was over the moon. We spoke about Making Gay History (obviously), his life in the 80s, living through the AIDs epidemic, his life now, lockdown (again, obviously), interviewing Marsha P Johnson and the similarities between our podcasts... I really love Eric's podcast and Eric was so nice and encouraging, he was really great to chat to. Also- I've been receiving newsletters from Eric's neighbourhood and it's the perfect amount of escapism right now. Here are links to some of the things we spoke about in the episode that you might like to check out: - Making Gay History podcast: - Making Gay History the book, by Eric Marcus: - Marsha P Johnson and Randy Wicker: - Marsha P Johnson park memorial that Eric mentioned: - Sylvia Rivera episode of Making Gay History: - The Celluloid Closet: Homosexuality in the Movies by Vito Russo: - Vito Russo's episode of Making Gay History: - Jeanne and Morty Manford's episode of Making Gay History (PFFLAG episode): Thanks again for listening and thanks so much to Eric!
