That is Rolling Stones November 2014 list of 5 Worst States for LGBT People.In the 1980s and 90s, queer-bashing was a popular pastime for some Texas high school kids. In just 10 years, 1988 to 1998, at least 28 gay men in Texas had been killed in a hate crime.Today Cam and Jen discuss the deaths of two of these men, John Lloyd Griffin and Tommy Lee Trimble.This episode was written and researched by Jeremy Wayne.Listener discretion by OctoberpodVHS https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZQk-oAsjZNG18y8bX24c6wTheme music and editing by Nico Vettesewetalkofdreams.comSources:https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/the-5-worst-states-for-lgbt-people-198931/https://books.google.com/books?id=UWMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA37&lpg=PA37&dq=gay+bashing+in+texas+since+1988&source=bl&ots=wmGoPGXlWo&sig=ACfU3U35tY34977QkdxEAwRoZxkrPtd4dg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjpqZyLh6DwAhXmMlkFHRFlBfkQ6AEwBnoECAYQAw#v=onepage&q=gay%20bashing%20in%20texas%20since%201988&f=falsehttps://www.vanityfair.com/news/1995/02/texas-murder-199502https://www.khou.com/article/news/crime/breaking-down-texas-hate-crime-laws/285-2bf9d3c9-6a02-4fa5-873f-084bb360ea91https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1584549/https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1755439/m1/1/https://lgbt-history-archive.tumblr.com/post/153780039737/shame-on-you-judge-bednarski-drove-many-mileshttps://antifadallas.wordpress.com/2019/11/07/throwback-thursday-homophobic-killings-in-1988/http://www.texasobituaryproject.org/051588trimble-griffin.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1988/12/17/us/texas-judge-eases-sentence-for-killer-of-2-homosexuals.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1988/12/17/judges-remarks-on-gays-protested/649e6016-616e-4a72-892e-b9775fafcdd9/https://apnews.com/article/4285a88eca4b1466b31081086ef54c93 Learn more about your ad choices.
