Summary
 Ten years since 'Grindr Killer' Stephen Port, the systems that should be protecting gay, bi and queer men are still failing them and letting vulnerable people fall through the gaps. In episode one of six in this new series, Catch Us When We Fall, we explore chemsex and the role it plays in parts of the LGBTQIA+ community. From why people are drawn to it, to the complicated relationship between sex, drugs, identity and belonging, we ask how something that can feel liberating and communal can also leave people vulnerable to harm. Reporter Rory Boyle sets out his own connection to the chemsex scene, where we are in terms of chemsex crime prevention in the UK and beyond, the lasting impact of the Stephen Port case, and how we can create positive change.Told with harm reduction in the forefront and compassion for queer, bi and gay men at the heart of the story.
