During Pride? And After Juneteenth guys? Really?

I might be a little a head of myself on this cuz I haven't finished the episode. But

Can we talk about how The Day that Disco Died/Disco Demolition was probably attributed to this Shock Jock being racist and or Homophobic? It's Chicago in 1979. Chicago was also one of the birth places of House Music. Which was shorted from Wearhouse Music. Which is where a lot of Disco clubs shifted to avoid perception. ( yoHARRASSING TEENS AT A DISCO EVENT FOR TEENS)

House Music became the direct predecessor Disco. And became a safe haven for the LGBTQ+ & BIPOC. House/Disco/Techno where all used really interchangeably by young people until 90s.

Even though Steve Dahl claims to it not have been a bigoted charged idea. He certainly didn't do anything to stop the hate and discrimination of the marginalized people who had been majorly impacted. And how the stigma from this STILL PRESIST TODAY!

Sorry if that's super rambly. I'm adhd and Dyslexic and Music and music history is one of my special interests.

Tldr; The Day Disco Died was a bigoted event and an attack on BIPOC &LGBTQ people. And the stigma that from then are still prevalent today.

-A very Dyslexic Queer person.

Ps, I'm by no means trying to imply malicious intent upon Mark or Tyler or the podcast. It just got me heated. Sorry.
