Black LGBTQ Activist Jerome Kitchen Speaks on Death of Gemmel Moore



"There was no investigation. There was no background check into who Gemmel was or the relationship between Gemmel and the individual in whose home he was found dead in. Right away Gemmel was deemed a Black homeless gay sex worker who died of a drug overdose."-- Jerome Kitchen
