This week in honor of pride month, we cover a gay pride story. Oliver Sipple was a veteran living with a secret. He was thrust into the spotlight after an extremely rare heroic moment. What should have been a celebration of life turned into a persecution thanks to the well-meaning yet misguided Harvey Milk.   This week, we had pride recipes from queer chefs. Cindy took inspiration from Tasty Pride Recipe Book. For dinner, she made amazing beef braciole over polenta. For dessert, a decadent dark chocolate mousse cake. For drinks, we sipped on purple bunnies which were not purple at all.

One morning, Oliver Sipple went out for a walk. A couple hours later, to his own surprise, he saved the life of the President of the United States. But in the days that followed, Sipple's split-second act of heroism turned into a rationale for making his personal life into political opportunity. What happens next makes us wonder what a moment, or a movement, or a whole society can demand of one person. And how much is too much?  Through newly unearthed archival tape, we hear Sipple himself grapple with some of the most vexing topics of his day and ours - privacy, identity, the freedom of the press - not to mention the bonds of family and friendship.  Reported by Latif Nasser and Tracie Hunte. Produced by Matt Kielty, Annie McEwen, Latif Nasser and Tracie Hunte.

At 3:30 p.m., after speaking to the World Affairs Council, Ford emerged from the Post Street entrance of the St. Francis Hotel in Union Square, then walked toward his limousine. Before boarding the vehicle, he stopped and waved to the crowd that had gathered across the street.[3] Sara Jane Moore was standing in the crowd 40 feet away from Ford when she fired two shots with her .38 Special revolver. The first shot missed Ford's head by 5 inches and passed through the wall above the doorway Ford had just walked out of.[4] A bystander named Oliver Sipple heard the sound of the first shot and dove at Moore, grabbing her shooting arm before she pulled the trigger a second time. The second shot struck John Ludwig, a 42-year-old taxi driver standing inside the hotel,[5] in the groin.[4] Ludwig survived. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/art-mcdermott/support
