Miguel Tavares, a New Yorker who has joined Hell’s Kitchen parties for more than a decade, thinks the thieves could be exploiting the things that make gay nightlife so appealing: “The truth is, I do let my guard down when I come out to these places, because you’re yearning for connection. And I think for homosexuals especially, we want to commingle, want to let others into our friend groups.”
Carl Smith-Hudson, a Brooklyn resident who has been going out to Hell’s Kitchen with his friends for years, says he often sees strangers approach queer people in the area with offers of drugs. “They target these areas, like, ‘Oh, I’m not gay, but listen, I have this for you, I have that.’”
