The thirst for gratification, validation, and power often leads
many men, prominent and not, to destroy their own lives as well
as the lives of others. The story of Ed Buck and his victims is
one that involves wealth, deadly fetishes, meth, and racism.
Here’s what you need to know.

Fetish: a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked
to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing,
part of the body, etc.

A fetish by definition isn’t by definition a bad thing, abnormal
perhaps, but not necessarily wrong or harmful. However, what
makes a fetish harmful and, in the case of Ed Buck’s victims,
deadly, is the coupling of a fetish with dehumanization.

Edward Bernard Peter Buckmelter (Ed Buck) is a wealthy American
entrepreneur who began his career as a fashion model and actor
in Europe, and earned the lion’s share of his early wealth
through a courier company he acquired in the early 1980s.

Buck, who has resided in Los Angeles for nearly three decades,
has reportedly donated over $120,000 to democratic organizations
and politicians over the last 27 years (according to
opensecrets.org). Today, however, he is most known for his
misuse of meth, money and the bestialization of black gay men.

In 2017 Gemmel Moore (26) would become Ed Buck’s first publicly
known victim. Originally from Texas, Gemmel moved to West
Hollywood (WeHo), California, and quickly found himself
struggling to survive. Gemmel and Buck would meet via a popular
dating app. Buck had money, and Gemmel unfortunately, fit his
ideal profile – black, queer and poor. For Ed Buck, the
gratification wasn’t strictly “sexual,” he also enjoyed
injecting black men with methamphetamine, getting them addicted
and watching them overdose.

LaTisha Nixon, Gemmel’s mother, details her last in-person
conversation with her son in an interview in PartyBoi, a
chilling documentary showcasing the meth issue in the Black and
Latinx queer community by Michael Rice.

“I couldn’t believe how he looked. Gemmel tells me this man
likes to take pictures of him in white long johns. He said,
‘Mom, he likes to shoot me up with meth and watch me. He likes
to do this to black men. Mom, I don’t like it.’ I begged Gemmel
to stay with me, but I couldn’t convince him.”

Excerpts from Gemmel’s diary show a young man struggling
mentally and physically, as his connection with Buck grew more
dependent and dangerous.

I honestly don’t know what to do. I’ve become addicted to drugs
and the worst one at that. Ed Buck is the one to thank, he gave
me my first injection of crystal meth. – Gemmel Moore.

Despite his attempts to alert authorities, Gemmel’s reports went uninvestigated. On July 27, 2017, Gemmel’s body was found
lifeless in Ed Buck’s West Hollywood apartment – pornography
playing in the background, syringes and sex toys littering the
space. His death was ruled accidental by the coroner, and
prosecutors declined to file charges (insufficient evidence).

On January 7, 2019, Timothy Dean (African American), a fashion
consultant and athlete was found dead in Ed Buck’s West
Hollywood apartment. As in the case of Gemmel Moore, Ed Buck was
present during the death. Coroners determined that the cause of
Timothy’s death was of meth toxicity, but also accidental.

On September 11, 2019, an unnamed African American man had been
administered (by Ed Buck) deadly doses of methamphetamine in Ed
Buck’s apartment. The unnamed man reportedly fought Buck to flee
the apartment, believing he was overdosing. The man called 911
from a nearby location and received medical treatment for a meth
overdose. The unnamed man is Buck’s first publicly known
survivor.

On September 17, 2019, after two publicly known deaths at Ed
Buck’s apartment and three known meth overdose incidents, Ed
Buck was arrested. Buck has been charged by the state of
California and the federal government for his involvement in the
overdose of the unnamed survivor and the death of Gemmel Moore.

Now, let’s talk about how this happens. Ed Buck acted with
maliciousness and impunity, he is a current-day Jeffrey Dahmer,
true. While it’s easy to leave our conclusions and sympathies
there, we have to ask ourselves, what are we missing?

Our culture is comfortable lying to itself. We don’t tell the
truth about the things that matter the most. Ed Buck is a
symptom of a patriarchal society that normalizes and tolerates
rape culture and racism. How many people saw Ed Buck leave
parties or clubs with vulnerable men? How many people knew
before any reported deaths and did nothing?

The LGBTQ community, ostracized as it may be by most factions of
society, still participates in patriarchy. The homophobia,
racism, and misogyny that exist on the opposite side of the
rainbow also thrive within LGBTQ society.

It’s like watching light bend due to hyper-pressurized trauma.
Black male bodies (black bodies in general) have been
historically and currently are up for consumption, not respect –
run faster, jump higher, fuck longer. The same reason you
fetishize the black male body is the same reason he is killed or
shot. Trayvon Martin, a six-foot, 160-pound teenager, and Tamir
Rice, 12 years old, were branded big and black, both murdered.
Our culture fetishizes and dehumanizes the black body.

Human beings often use escapism to cope with trauma. The black
LGBTQ community is exceptionally great at creating fantasy and
entertainment. But outlets aren’t solutions; they are
expressions and coping mechanisms. Unfortunately, for
generations of queer folk, the departure from some gender
traditions and sexual repression, via themed parties,
uninhibited sexual experiences, and drug use has created new –
and compounded old – toxic norms.

According to the CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Survey, 40 percent of gay men and 47 percent of
bisexual men have experienced sexual violence other than rape
(compared to 21 percent of heterosexual men).

Stories like Ed Buck using hopes and dreams of young men to gain
access to their bodies aren’t isolated. How many people casually
praised Ed for his harem of drugged black men? Locker room talk,
anyone? Our sitting president can have multiple sexual assault
cases launched against him, brag about grabbing women’s
genitalia, and we the people elected him. Who could have stopped
Ed Buck earlier?

Buck is reportedly in federal custody without bail until trial,
facing a minimum of 20 years in prison, and a maximum life
sentence on federal charges.

This is a deeply rooted societal issue: we need to remodel our
norms. Stop asking what someone was wearing when you hear about
an assault unless you think there are “rape-appropriate”
outfits. Stop blaming victims, stop being silent, change your
mind, change the culture, set a new standard.
