The birth of Gary's son Matthew in 1975 triggered an intense religious turn. Marsha described Gary as almost fanatical — reading the Bible at home and at work, weeping during services, clutching scripture while watching TV, and aggressively trying to convert neighbors. His primary church was Pentecostal, and the pastor's teachings amplified his already severe misogyny: disobedient wives couldn't enter heaven; women wearing red or with short hair were committing serious sins.[1] Gary's mother Mary Rita simultaneously became more domineering after a promotion at JCPenney, retaining control over Gary's bank accounts and crashing the marriage with her presence. When Marsha got gastric bypass surgery, lost weight, and launched a singing career, Gary accused her of infidelity — projection, since he'd never stopped seeing sex workers throughout both marriages. The gap between Gary's religious performance and his actual behavior widened dangerously.
