A scare is spreading through the gay community in New York City as more attacks are being discovered. NYC is one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly cities in the world, so this is particularly alarming. Please stay safe and take extra precautions.
“My latest: there is a killer, or maybe more than one, stalking gay bars in NYC. At least 2 men were drugged, robbed using their phone’s facial recognition tech, and killed.
