Marshall Applewhite was a soldier, singer, and teacher, but is best known for his role as the leader of the Heaven's Gate group. In 1997, he organized their mass suicide—the largest to occur inside the U.S.—expecting to be transported onto a passing spaceship. I've found him to be a fascinating individual, simultaneously racked with guilt over his sexuality and convinced of his status as the chosen messenger of the Kingdom of Heaven (which he believed to be an actual kingdom on another planet). Quite a bit has been written about Applewhite, but after a lot of reading I think I've used nearly all of the high-quality sources. The article is a GA and has been copy edited and peer reviewed by a number of helpful editors, so I think it's time to take it to the "Next Level".
