14 WTF AHS NYC PREMIERE MOMENTS: SERIAL KILLER TARGETS GAY MEN, EPIMIC LOOMS '80S NEW YORK
Season 11 of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falch's horror anthology is fely light on the supernatural or science fictn at this pot, and stead seems to be focg on the real-life horrors of beg a gay man New York Cy the 1980s. Takg place 1981, there are two loomg threats to so many of the gay men who make up this season's st so far -- though some of them may be a part of the danger themselv. The first threat seems to ht around the rners of the real HIV and AIDS crisis that slammed to the gay muny around this time, and was promptly ignored by everyone thory bee was seemgly enmic to that culture -- or at least that's what they wanted to believe.

The other threat is much more immediate, as there is a serial killer lurkg the gay hot spots around the cy. For his first trick, he dismembered an airle pilot who went to one of those unrground plac where gay men hooked up.
This troduced to Patrick (Rsell Tovey), the closeted tective who is the only hope for the gay muny on the police force bee the rt of the ps really, really, aggrsively and vlently do not want to re about someone killg gay men. It uld even be that the weakened immune system of HIV is why the gay men uld wd up more sceptible to what we're gog to ll Covid-80.
It do seem that Murphy and his team are tryg to tap to somethg we all recently experienced, but filtered through this very real and sry time for gay men wh another largely unknown disease.

The first moment we got nfirmatn that Patrick was gay was when his boyiend Go (Joe Mantello) me home to him. Go is out and a journalist for a gay newspaper, The Downtown Native. After beg acced of sexism -- which is fair if 's te they only wrote about issu gay men were ncerned wh -- our mds were a ltle blown at the mismatch of the two men this moment.
The NYPD is tentnally refg to take this serial killer of the gay muny serly, and his own closeted way, Patrick is enablg and supportg that, for fear of jeopardizg his reer. Gay men are danger and dyg, and the police do nothg and Patrick won't even help Go wh a potential story on .
We do have to give Patrick cred, though, for livg openly wh a gay man while workg closeted for a homophobic NYPD.
