Did police homophobia fail serial killer's gay victims?


Over 15 months, Stephen Port, a 41-year-old chef from a working class east London borough drugged, raped, and killed four gay men he met on dating apps. After drinking with friends in a local gay club, he went home and saw his father, before hooking up with Port on gay dating app Grindr and taking a taxi to his flat. They were all young men who died the same way," he told CNN. Leading gay rights activist Peter Tatchell questioned whether homophobia and class played a role in police handling of the case. Cohen believes another reason why police may have overlooked the serial killer's involvement, was "because of the use of the drug GHB and its prevalence among the gay community."
