I'm in Denver and reaaallly wanted to patronize Atrevida Beer Co. in person but they're closed today 😭

#coloradospings

Turns out it was not a drag queen who helped stop the gunman and saved lives at the attack at the queer club in #coloradospings as was first being reported / shared.
She was actually a trans woman. She is a hero.

It is reported that the Colorado Springs gunman had previously threatened his mother with a homemade bomb. As well as transphobia driving murderous LGBTI+ hate, misogyny is often the ‘canary in the coalmine’ identifier when it comes to these killers! #HateSpeech #HateCrimes #coloradospings

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

This is so sad. Will the hate ever end? #coloradospings #clubq #lgbt 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The shooting in Colorado Springs, Colo., is being investigated as a hate crime, but little has been said about why Club Q was targeted, officials said.

Heavy.com has a well-researched story on the identity of the gunman in Saturday's massacre at Club Q. The gunman is the grandson of a far right Republican California state representative. He shot 24 people, killing at least 5. #hate #clubq #clubqmassacre #massshooting #coloradospings #lbgtq #firearms #guns #USA

Will from now on refer to it as the Aldrich/Voepel mass shooting #coloradospings #voepelmurders #republicans have blood on their hands.

Wondering how this turned out and why he wasn’t on a watch list! Anderson Lee Aldrich was a suspect in a bomb threat a yr ago in TX!

Love wins over hate #clubqshootin #coloradospings

#coloradospings … how many times before people understands?
In #australia after Port Arthur’s massacre the centre right PM of the times acted swiftly to restrict gun ownership. Resistance was fierce, but effect has been clear: no more mass gun death after that. And this is a fact, not an opinion.

#coloradospings

Another day of great sorrow and grief. To friends and family there are few words of comfort but please know you are cared for by so many. #ColoradoSpings

My first post here: So angry about Colorado! Transphobic rhetoric and bullshit moral panic about “groomers” fuels this violence. We beat back this shit before. Come on community! Come on Lesbians! Come on every straight woman who had her bridal shower at a drag brunch! Come on Allies! Come on solidarity! #clubQ #ColoradoSpings #QueerSolidarity

Hearing about the #MassShooting in #ColoradoSpings is upsetting. These violent bigots are evil. Stay safe everyone! #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Not forty minutes away from where I live in the state and city where Focus on the Family is headquartered 5 people were killed and another 18 injured. When people are allowed to go on camera and lie about people being groomers it produces actual murderers. #colorado #ColoradoSpings

On this #TransDayofRemembrance, please, for the love of all that is good and decent, respect pronouns, recognize hate speech in school board meetings is what gets people killed, and understand that what feels like a safe space for you is not going to be a safe space for everyone. Sending all the love to my co-workers in #ColoradoSpings today 🏳️‍🌈💔🏳️‍⚧️🕯

My heart goes out to the #lgbt community of #coloradospings today, #TDoR22 when we should be honoring those we've lost, we're losing even more. As an #orlando native, who went through the panic and collective grief of the #PulseShooting please know our city is thinking of you today. If there's anyone locally who is fundraising for the families or #clubq please let's get it out there so we can support y'all in this time of need. :progresspride_flag: :blm:
