Episode 13: Sue Trupin

Sue Trupin, mother of the late Gabriel Trupin, joins us for a heartfelt conversation about her extraordinary son—a gifted dancer who toured with Madonna on the iconic Blond Ambition Tour and appeared in the groundbreaking documentary Truth or Dare. Gabriel and Slam shared what is widely considered the first gay kiss on the big screen, a moment that sparked controversy in the ’90s but went on to become a beacon of visibility and hope for the LGBTQ+ community. Sue reflects on Gabriel’s legacy, his impact, and the importance of representation at a time when the world was far less accepting.
