Extra Bad Gays March 2024: Gay Murder Cop & Bad Behavior at Queer Eye Bad Gays
-
- History
This month's conversation begins with a conversation about the horrific murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in Australia, allegedly by Baird's ex-boyfriend Beau Lamarre-Condon. Lamarre-Condon, a police officer with the New South Wales police force, is alleged to have stalked Baird and then murdered the two with a police-issued firearm. We talk about the tone-deaf response of the New South Wales police force to the murders, their insistence on marching in Sydney's Mardi Gras, and Lamarre-Condon's Andrew Cunanan-like qualities. Then, we turn to recent reports of bad behavior on the set of Queer Eye and reflect on parasocial relationships and the trap of celebrity.
