Netflix Quietly Drops LGBTQ Tag From Jeffrey Dahmer Series After Backlash

Netflix has removed an LGBTQ tag from its controversial series about Milwaukee serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer after complaints about the categorization online. The show titled Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, originally featured in the category alongside the likes of Sex Education and Heartstopper before the tag was dropped. “'Hey hi @netflix I IMPLORE you please reconsider having Dahmer with the LGBTQ tag, especially as one of its tags right when you open the app,” one social media user wrote. Another asked: “If I need to stay in my lane absolutely tell me but anyone else think it's pretty gross of @netflix to list Dahmer under #LGBTQ, especially when the True Crime tag would have worked?” One TikTok user said: “I know it’s technically true,” because Dahmer was gay, “But this is not… This is not the representation we are looking for.”
