There definitely seems to have been an assumption that the deaths were drug/lifestyle related. I'd agree that the whole case was so ineffectually handled that it's definitely not the only factor, but presuming that the deaths of young gay men is related to their lifestyle is intrinsically homophobic. Even if their wasn't active homophobic intent from individuals the system is homophobic.

Not sure it's homophobia. I just don't think they could give a shit about anyone. Investigating crimes is too much like hard work. Now a nice easy on the spot fine, on the other hand...
