24 Caty Simon, “‘They Want Us Dead’: Anti-Trafficking Laws Attack Drug-Using Sex Workers,” Filter, September 25, 2018.

25 Between 2010–2017 there were a series of disappearances, mostly of South Asian, Arab, and North African immigrant queer men in Toronto’s queer village. Many queer people feared a serial killer was hunting queer men of color, but police brushed off community concerns. After a “respectable” white man was killed, the police finally conducted a full investigation and discovered that the community was right all along. Sixty-eight-year-old Bruce McArthur had been targeting brown men, and in one case, a street-based, white, sex-working man. He was eventually charged with eight counts of murder. Tess Richey was a young woman who was also killed while in the Toronto queer village late one night. Police were so indifferent to her disappearance that they failed to discover that her body was fifty feet away from where she was last seen. Her mother discovered her body during a community-run search party.
