Furthermore, during this time Harvey Milk would open his camera shop and eventually begin his run for local political power. It was pre-AIDS crisis, and the bar and bathhouse scenes were beginning to explode. Sure thriving meant that cops would often try to entrap or beat gays, or just would not care if other people were beating them, and also meant that gay bars would be raided etc., but this was a time that the community was being built. This was a time that the LGBT community was beginning to thrive in the Castro District.
If true crime is not your thing, and you don’t like learning about murder or death or anything of the like – well I highly suggest you turn back now as this posting will not be your cup of tea! In homage to the podcast this post will be written in the style of MFM, this means that there will be swearing ahead, as well as details about a dark and twisted and also unknown history of the LGBT community. This is not a promo for them, but seriously if you have a love of true crime and learning more about those types of stories I highly recommend this podcast because not only is it educational, but both of these women are hilariously amazing, and Murderinos (fans of the podcast) are also an amazing group of people! That being said, today’s supplement to the 30 days of Pride project will be a true crime story. This is compiled by the fact that my favorite podcast currently is entitled, “My Favorite Murder (MFM)!” Shout out to Karen and Georgia for bringing true crime back into fashion, and making people not so afraid to talk about the darker portions of life. Friends who know me well know that I have a penchant for True Crime stories.
