Panic: Queer True Crime, a podcast, and youtube channel featuring stories about the life and death of LGBTQ+ people.

https://reggiedeepdive.com/queerpanicdive/

A little bit about Panic.

I created this true-crime channel to focus on the life and murders of LGBTQ+ people.

I called the channel Panic because for much more of the recorded history of LGBTQ+ folks there’s been a panic.

By investigating everything from hate crimes to domestic violence murders and serial killers we'll gain insight into how societal views can affect the fight for justice.

now and then we'll celebrate some of the people who’ve lived their lives out loud and proud often at great sacrifice.

Panic is both a podcast and a YouTube channel.

Sometimes being queer can be murder.

Check out the first two seasons of the podcast for a little something different.

    Cunanan: The Murders of Jeffrey Trail And David Madson

    Cunanan: The Murders of Jeffrey Trail And David Madson

    Note: I've only just realized that the audio for the previous upload of this episode was icky and is only a few minutes long. Here is the episode in its entirety. 
     
    I have also wanted to delve into the lives of Jeffrey Trail and David Madson and Andrew Cunanan's relationship with them both. In part, because as tragic as Gianni Versace's murder was, not to mention the murders of Lee Miglin and poor Andrew Reese who was just doing his job, Trail and Madson's murders seem particularly devasting. 
    Friends and lovers, secrets and lies. 
    People who knew them said Cunanan loved and admired Trail and Madson, and they at some stage loved him, yet he killed them both as some sort of retribution for his life falling apart. 
    I hope you'l listen and share this episode because these two men are worthy of your consideration. Having spent time reading about them I feel even more affection for them and for their loved ones who were lucky to have these extraordinary young men in their lives. 
    Here are a few links to the 48-hour interview with Jeffrey Trail and a link to some of the letters and pictures Cunanan wrote to Madson.

    This is the first case in the nation to use federal protections to prosecute a hate crime based on gender identity even though South Carolina remains one of the two states with no hate crime protections for queer people.

    The Life and Death of Jimmy Zappalorti

    The Life and Death of Jimmy Zappalorti

    The story of Jimmy Zappalorti's life and death is the story of the times in which he lived. The love of a family, and community, and the search for self-acceptance and a small amount of joy. Jimmy Zappalorti died twice.
    Once while stationed in Danang, Vietnam, and some twenty years later on Staten Island where he grew up when two hate-filled young men decided to take his life.
    It has been an honor to tell Jimmy's story and to get to know his story. I think you might have as much affection for him as I do. Please join me and share the story of the life and times of Jimmy Zappalorti.
