This happened in the town where I live.
The Showtime original movie Soldier's Girl tells the true story of Private Barry Winchell (Troy Garity), a 21-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Campbell, KY who was savagely beaten to death because of his love affair with Calpernia Addams (Lee Pace) a transsexual nightclub singer from Nashville, TN. The ostensibly heterosexual Winchell meets Calpernia while out on the town with his infantry buddies and surprises even himself when he decides to date the vulnerable pre-op transsexual. As the relationship blooms, it infuriates Winchell's unstable roommate Justin Fisher (Shawn Hatosy), who incites fellow soldier Calvin Glover (Philip Eddolls) into murdering Winchell with a baseball bat.
