Show Notes
Matthew Shepard’s tragic 1998 murder transformed America’s attitudes towards the LGBTQ community. But with anti-LGBTQ laws proliferating across the country, some activists fear these attitudes are reverting back to the 1990s. In this episode, Eric Marcus, the host of “Making Gay History” podcast, explains what life was like for the LGBTQ+ community back then. We also revisit an impactful 2019 interview between 1010 WINS and Matthew’s parents, Judy and Denis Shepard.
