THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY
The second season of Ryan Murphy’s ripped-from-the-headlines drama American Crime Story took us inside the 1997 assassination of Gianni Versace, and it was just about as gay as a show can get. Sure, the main queer character in this was actually a serial-killing psychopath, but hey, this was based on real life — we can’t all be good! While telling the backstory behind Andrew Cunanan’s murder spree, we got a chilling reminder of the homophobia that existed in the ’90s, with the FBI not bothering to engage the gay community during their investigation and with Versace feeling the pressure to not come out of the closet. Plus, we had out musician Ricky Martin in the role of Versace’s longtime lover, Antonio D’Amico. Twentygayteen, indeed.
