Why is Halloween often called "Gay Christmas"? Sure you can reduce it to sterotypes and say it's because Queer people just love theatrics and dressing up. But the actual reason goes much deeper than that and today we are gonna be talking about one of the reasons that is.

But although HIV is no longer a death sentence, the stigma and negative feelings towards the illness still remain prominent in and out of the Queer community. This case is an extreme example of how these negative myths towards people with HIV caused one man to become a serial killer, hellbent on murdering every gay man he could find.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell", it's a phrase that has become pretty infamous since its first introduction back in 1994. It was a policy that seemed to allow homosexuals to be able to serve in the United States Military, but sadly it would cause more harm than good and indirectly lead to one of the most tragic and brutal murders in Military history.

An epidemic of crime is sweeping across New York City and other major cities in the United States as various gangs have taken to preying on those most vulnerable such as women and queer people out at bars.

We are officially in Pride Month and that means all eyes are going to be on the Queer community, for better and for worse. In honor of Pride, we wanted to bring attention to a case that has gone unsolved for 50 years, yet, has all of the pieces to be solved.

The Doodler was the nickname given to a technically unidentified serial killer that brutally murdered at least 5 men in the San Fran Bay Area during the 1970s. His victim count is possibly as many as 14 different men, making him one of the most prolific serial killers in California state history. Yet he was rarely talked about before 2018. It's more important now than ever to have as many eyes on this case as possible as we are on the clock to serve justice, as police have confirmed they are certain they know exactly who the killer is and have known since the 1970s.

This weeks case is covering the most talked about Serial Killer in History. It's a case that has a thousand books, movies, podcasts and shows about it covering everything there is to know about the infamous Ripper. But today we are going to be talking about one of the least talked about (yet one of the more probable) suspects in the case, a man named Francis Tumbelty. A man so larger than life, he is connected not only to the Ripper murders, but was even arrested at one point for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

To help us get to understand this Ripper suspect, we actually had the chance to sit down with Author Tony McMahon to discuss his research and the release of his new book, "Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln". Which is available today and I highly recommend you guys check it out because it sent me down so many rabbit holes.

Order: "Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln: One Man connects the two greatest crimes of the 19th century." by Tony McMahon- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jack-Ripper-Abraham-Lincoln-greatest/dp/1805143646

There has only ever been one recorded serial killer who identified as Amish and that was a man named Eli Stutzman. A man who seemed to bring death and destruction wherever he went. As his Amish Community and authorities spent nearly a decade attempting to track him down, Eli evaded capture and that resulted in the deaths of at least 5 people.

This is one of the most shocking, brutal and depraved crimes to ever happen in the last 20 years and the worst part about it is videos of it existing online since it happened. In 2012, strange packages began to arrive at various businesses around the Montreal area in Canada. Each of the packages contained the severed body parts of a man named Jun Lin. As police scrambled to find out what was happening, a strange video entitled "1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick" appeared online and horrified the internet. The man behind the crime would be revealed to be Luka Magnotta, but no-one was prepared for just how sick and twisted this man truly was.

The town of Sioux City, Iowa was shaken to its core following the disappearance and eventual murder of a young boy in August 1954. Although a suspect was arrested and convicted for the murder, the residents would not get a chance at peace before another abduction would cause a wave of hysteria to pass over the town and lead to 20 innocent men being arrested and convicted for "sex crimes".

Sioux City, Iowa was seen as the "All American Town" back in the 1950s, a safe place to raise a family. But when a young boy disappears in 1954, it sparks a massive manhunt for his kidnapper. What starts out as a genuine hunt for the culprit, soon turns into a witch hunt for anyone the townspeople deems "sexual deviants" aka Homosexuals.
