Now this has been a comic a looonnnggg time in the making, I think my first sketch was in 2017, but as my views have changed so has the text and imagery.Let me first start off by saying- this is what I know of this case from my own experience. As a queer white afab person I did not encounter the full fear of the years that McArthur preyed on Toronto’s gay village. However, we were all very afraid for our community, and I still have a burning passion for justice even after all these years.Also this comic just touches the tip of the iceberg on the tension between the Toronto Police and the LGBTQIA+ Community. There is a lot of nuance that I feel was missed by media coverage, and certainly it cannot all be covered in a three page comic.All I can say is– believe the victims first, cross reference your information, and be compassionate.#pridestartedasariotIf you want to read up on this story more:https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/07/toronto-serial-killer-bruce-mcarthur-accused-landscaperhttps://www.flare.com/news/bruce-mcarthur-vanity-fair/https://hazlitt.net/longreads/death-villageConsider donating to:Toronto BLM:https://blacklivesmatter.ca/donate/ Regis Korchinski-Paquet’s GoFundMehttps://ca.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-regis D’Andre Campbell’s GoFundMEhttps://ca.gofundme.com/f/in-loving-memory-of-d039andre-anthony-campbell(I am not affiliated with them, but I do wish to bring awareness in any way possible) -- source link
