I've been reading up on the tragic case of John W. Ross Jr., and I can't shake the feeling of how isolating and terrifying it must have been for the LGBTQ+ community during those times. The fact that many of these men were last seen in known gay-friendly spots like Ocean View or downtown Norfolk just breaks my heart. These places were supposed to be safe havens where they could be themselves without judgment. It's devastating to consider how John and others must have felt targeted and unsafe in the very spaces that should have offered them solace and community. It really paints a grim picture of the period and emphasizes the importance of creating truly inclusive and safe environments for marginalized communities today. My thoughts are with John’s family and friends, and all those who were affected by this ruthless individual. Would love to hear any personal stories or insights from those familiar with these areas during that time—every piece of information helps keep their memories alive.
