    Final episode 2 - West Midlands: Nathan Maynard-Ellis

    *** I am closing Queer Crime but I will keep the episodes published so we do not lose these tragic stories. As a thank you for your support over the past two years, I’m publishing two Patreon episodes and one new episode. Good luck with everything and remember … be kind to each other. *** I have researched, written, recorded, edited and published over 30 episodes for Queer Crime. I have read about all sorts of people who are mad, people who are bad and people who are twats. The guy in this story beats almost all of those people. I hate being unkind about people, but this man deserves all the vitriol you can muster. A total wanker. A horrible bastard to his very core. Someone with no interest in anything except himself and his own pleasure. I don’t know him … but suffice to say, I hate him. The man that I am referring to is Nathan Maynard-Ellis.   Support the show

    Final episode 1 - Rotherham: Kenneth Crowe

    Final episode number 1 *** I am closing Queer Crime but I will keep the episodes published so we do not lose these tragic stories. As a thank you for your support over the past two years, I’m publishing two Patreon episodes and one new episode. Good luck with everything and remember … be kind to each other. *** Rotherham is a large town in south Yorkshire which has a rich history in cast iron, glass manufacturing, flour milling and, most importantly, coal mining. There were 24 coal mines in Rotherham over the decades and these coal mines gave people employment opportunities to people all over the United Kingdom.   One of those people who moved to Rotherham in search of employment was Patrick Cooney. He had travelled from Scotland and had spent 18 months living in lodgings in the Rotherham area. A hard-working and easy-going young man, Patrick was very well liked by all who knew him … so when he walked into a police station in Rotherham at 2pm on Saturday 1 July 1950 and told the police officer on the front desk that he had killed someone, everyone who knew him was stunned.

    London: Michael Lupo

    In the 1980s, in amongst the upsetting and tragic deaths of gay men who were being struck down with a mystery and seemingly incurable illness, another tragedy was unfolding in London for the gay community.  A tragedy that was partly caused by the mystery illness which was killing gay men.

    Portsmouth: Allan Grimson

    On 12 January 2000, the way the British military treated serving LGBT+ people changed forever. Prior to that date, anyone who was LGBT+ was banned from serving in the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the British Army. Before the ban was lifted, serving members of the forces lived in fear of being outed. They lived in fear of being themselves. They kept their head down and got on with their jobs. However, not all LGBT+ people who were serving at the time were kind souls who were secretly supportive of their other LGBT+ colleagues. One person in the Royal Navy was the complete opposite. This is his story. Patreon: patreon.com/queercrime Twitter: @crime_queer Instagram: QueerCrime Website: queercrime.com Support the show

    Olongapo: Jennifer Laude

    The gay panic defence or trans panic defence is absolutely abhorrent. It is a legal strategy that asks a court to consider that a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity is to blame for a defendant’s violent reaction … and this violent reaction can include murder.

    Orange County: Danny Lockin

    Everyone knows the 1969 romantic comedy musical called ‘Hello Dolly!’ which features uber-gay icon Barbra Streisand. This joyous, high-camp movie with its catchy tunes and long-lasting legacy of frivolity and fun … also has a horrible queer crime story attached to it which has been almost entirely forgotten. This is the story of Danny Lockin. Twitter: @crime_queer Instagram: QueerCrime Website: queercrime.com Please support fan of the show, Kyle, who needs your kind assistance to fund his top surgery.
