Got Exit Observations? Pull Over Here.Welcome Passengers. In Exit 3, we travel back to San Francisco. To 1977, in order to  examine the murder of Robert Hillsborough. A young gay man whose death sent shock waves through the LGBTQ+ community during a time of rising fear, tension, and cultural division in the U.S. As anti-gay campaigns led by figures like Anita Bryant spread across the country, fear and hostility toward the gay community intensified. This episode explores the climate surrounding Hillsborough's murder, the impact it had on San Francisco and beyond, and why so many people believed his death represented something much larger than a single act of violence. History usually doesn't disappear. It just waits for us to stop paying attention to return. -Sarah ElleFor a full list of our sources, sponsors and affiliates, please visit our website at Corridorofcrime.comhttps://www.oklahoman.com/obituaries/pokl1052221https://tr.ee/gDJi0Thttps://www.au.org/the-latest/articles/singer-anita-bryant-leaves-legacy-of-homophobia-and-extremism/Please visit our website to use direct links. WhirlyBoard.comFunFactsCo.comMissCongenialityShop.etsy.comCCTiresinc.com
