It's time for another installment of From The Inbox! This time Projectors can help provide an answer to a question we got yesterday afternoon.
From: the zak
Message: Who were/are the most well known criminals, murderers who were/are gay/queer/MSM ?...
I have no idea, Zak, but I'm sure some of our readers will know. I know there was a gay serial killer from Indianapolis, but I don't remember his name.
Use the comments section to fill Zak in, Projectors.

It's rumored that Leopold and Loeb were lovers, they were famous/infamous.
There was also Bob Berdella, the gay serial killer in Kansas City in the 80's

I think there was some speculation that Jeffrey Dahmer was gay.

John Wayne Gacy was gay. And he killed like 30 young guys and buried them in his basement. How odd- I just watched a movie on that last night and then this question pops up...

I actually met Jeffrey Dahmer - he was at the Triangle Nightclub in Milwaukee in 1990, and sat with us during a show. He was nice, funny, kinda cute. I just about prolapsed my uterus when I saw him in the news the next year!
I think it should be noted that many, many GLBTQ villains have been portrayed in film and television. I hope we can someday get away from this unfortunate stereotype so we don't repeat such horrible movies like "Cruising."
