<p>Ryan Murphy, the man who created the hit Netflix series about serial murderer Jeffrey Dahmer, said he was upset when the platform removed the LGBTQ tag from the story about a &#8220;gay man&#8221; and &#8220;his gay victims.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a recent lengthy interview for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/29/style/ryan-murphy-netflix-horror.html">The New York Times</a>, Murphy said not all &#8220;gay stories&#8221; have to be happy and admitted he wasn&#8217;t pleased when the streaming site removed the LGBTQ tag from &#8220;Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story&#8221; because &#8220;people were upset.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The rule of my career has been: The more specific you are, the more universal you can become,&#8221; Murphy explained. &#8220;I also don’t think that all gay stories have to be happy stories.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There was a moment on Netflix where they removed the L.G.B.T.Q. tag from &#8216;Dahmer,&#8217; and I didn&#8217;t like it and I asked why they did that and they said because people were upset because it was an upsetting story,&#8221; the series creator added. &#8220;I was, like, &#8216;Well, yeah.&#8217; But it was a story of a gay man and more importantly, his gay victims.&#8221;</p>

<p>Murphy also responded to reports that the show was &#8220;exploiting&#8221; trauma suffered by the &#8220;victims&#8217; families,&#8221; as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-cruel-victims-family-member-not-happy-about-new-monster-the-jeffrey-dahmer-story-documentary">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>
<p>The series creator said he did the story to shed light on the racism and homophobia in the case that were pervasive.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was the biggest thing I&#8217;ve ever seen that really sort of examines how easy it is to get away with things with the white privilege aspects,&#8221; Murphy shared.  &#8220;What are the rules now? Should we never do a movie about a tyrant?”</p>
<p>The prosecutor who secured Dahmer&#8217;s conviction, former Milwaukee County District Attorney Michael McCann, has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dahmer-prosecutor-blows-up-netflix-narrative-claiming-cops-ignored-black-gay-victims">disputed this claim</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The notion that MPD officers turned a blind eye to Dahmer&#8217;s victims because of their race or sexual orientation is ludicrous, despite what &#8216;Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story&#8217; portrays,&#8221; McCann reportedly shared.</p>
<p>The series focuses on serial killer, Dahmer, played by actor Evan Peters. Dahmer murdered 17 people from the 70s until the early 90s, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-cruel-victims-family-member-not-happy-about-new-monster-the-jeffrey-dahmer-story-documentary">reported</a>.</p>
