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.
