Season 6: Episode 5: Damien Martin

from Making Gay History | LGBTQ Oral Histories from the Archive · host Eric Marcus

Damien Martin grew up in foster care and on the streets of Philadelphia, so he knew all too well about the needs of vulnerable youth. In 1979, when he and his partner, Dr. Emery Hetrick, heard about a 15-year-old gay kid thrown out of a shelter after being gang-raped, they decided to take action.
