Bowers v. Hardwick (Interview w/ Martin Padgett)
from Archive Atlanta Hosted by Victoria Lemos
This week, I am SO excited to share a conversation that I had with Marty Padgett about this new book, The Many Passions of Michael Hardwick: Sex and the Supreme Court in the Age of AIDS. Sodomy laws had been used to discriminate against queer people for centuries, but in 1986, the US Supreme Court ruled that the constitution did not guarantee a person the right to engage in homosexual conduct, even in the privacy of their own home. The case began with the arrest of Michael Hardwick and happened right here in Atlanta! A Night at the Sweet Gum Head https://martinpadgett.com Want to support this podcast?
