THE Metropolitan Police have been accused of anti-queer bias by protesters, whose march through London this week condemned the force’s actions following the death of a drag artist.

Heklina, born Stephen Grygelko, was found dead in a flat in Soho on April 3 2023.

The investigation into the performer’s death has been criticised for delays, lack of communication and frequent personnel changes, with the Met apologising for failures earlier this year.
