Sewers of Paris: Homosexuals Are Mad as Hell and We're Organizing (Ep 485 - live television/Mark Segal)

My guest on this week's Sewers of Paris podcast is Mark Segal, who started making waves in the 1960s and hasn’t stopped since. Mark was there for Stonewall, he was there for the organizing of the first Prides that followed, and he was ready to get arrested for the cause of gay liberation — and was many times, including on one memorable occasion when he invaded a broadcast of the CBS evening news. These days, he claims the title of the nation’s most awarded LGBT journalist, he continues to oversee operations at the Philadelphia Gay News, and he has some wisdom to offer queer people following the trail that he blazed.
Comments
Nice interview. Mark seems like he still has tons of energy for more good work! When I was a teen in the 60’s and 70’s I remember seeing a few gay people on local TV like Rev. Troy Perry being interviewed by Steve Allen. I knew I liked men and it was very disturbing watching the interview with my mother and my older brother in the room. I wanted to crawl under a table. I ended up throwing a piece of pie at my brother in anger and my mother saying,”That show must have upset him!”
