Follow Eric Marcus— it's freeIs it possible that my family, my mother, could ever accept me? Today we meet Eric Marcus and we’re talking about the book that saved his life: Consenting Adult by Laura Z. Hobson . Eric Marcus is the author of a dozen books, including two editions of Making Gay History (the original 1992 edition is entitled Making History ), Why Suicide? , and Breaking the Surface , the #1 New York Times bestselling autobiography of Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis. Eric is also the co-producer of Those Who Were There , a podcast drawn from the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies. He is the founder and chair emeritus of the Stonewall 50 Consortium and is a founding board member of the American LGBTQ+ Museum . In Consenting Adult, Tessa Lynn considers herself independent and progressive, a liberated woman of the 1960s. And yet, when she receives a letter from her youngest son, Jeff, informing her that he is gay, Tessa is distraught. At a time when homosexuality is regarded as a mental illness, she struggles with how best to be a parent to a gay son—and how to protect her family from the prejudices of the era. Elegant and subtly drawn, Consenting Adult is a stunning tribute to familial bonds, and a sympathetic portrait of a mother whose best intentions are often clouded by the stereotypes of her time.

Eric opens up about coming out as gay in the 1970s, working for CBS as one of the only out employees and being asked if he is the "husband" or "wife" in his relationship, and how he found his journalistic voice. He explains that even though "Making Gay History" has been read by so many, the academic community still doesn't fully accept him as a gay historian. But, Eric says that this doesn't stop him from continuing to report and proclaim the message of Gay Joy that has existed throughout the centuries. Andrew asks Eric what he thinks of the current backlash towards the LGBTQ+ community and boy oh boy...Eric has a lot to say!
