Ep. 342 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “New York Homicide: Shine A Light On Hate”
About this episode
The episode discusses the inspiring story of a community's response to hate during the AIDS epidemic, focusing on the case of Julio Rivera.
Summer In The City Month continues with this devastating, emotional and ultimately inspiring tale of an urban community rising up against the hate in its midst. If someone doesn’t make this story into a movie, Christopher and Eric just might. Jackson Heights, Queens. 1990. The AIDS epidemic is at its peak and gay men are being targeted for violent attacks throughout the country. But we’re supposed to believe out and proud Julio Rivera was savagely beaten to death with multiple blunt objects by multiple assailants as the result of a drug deal gone bad? (Gurl, please.) The tenth episode of the second season of NEW YORK HOMICIDE entitled “Shine A Light On Hate” offers an inspiring history lesson about activism, justice and community building. Sometimes there’s more than safety in numbers, there’s change.
