Billy Jack Gaither was a 39 year old man who lived deeply in his closet. It didn't help he also lived in a small town in Alabama, the heart of the Bible Belt. Billy Jack kept his secret from most, but someone he considered a "friend"...did him dirty in the ultimately most nefarious way. The true crime quickie comes from South Africa when an up and coming LGBTQ musical artist was brutally slain in daylight while others watched.
