The co-owner of the Colorado Springs gay nightclub where a shooter turned a drag queen’s birthday into a massacre said he thinks the shooting that killed five people is a reflection of anti-LGBTQ sentiment that has evolved from prejudice to incitement.

A survivor talks about his experience after a gunman opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, killing five people.said he thinks the shooting that killed five people and injured 17 others is a reflection of anti-LGBTQ sentiment that has evolved from prejudice to incitement.

Grzecka said he believes the targeting of a drag queen event is connected to the art form being cast in a false light in recent months by right-wing activists and politicians who complain about the “sexualization” or “grooming” of children. Even though general acceptance of the LGBTQ community has grown, this new dynamic has fostered a dangerous climate.

City and state officials have offered support and President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden reached out to Grzecka and co-owner Matthew Haynes on Thursday to offer condolences and reiterate their support for the community as well as their commitment to fighting back against hate and gun violence.

Everybody want to be the victim. Stop being pedophiles and groomers to kids and maybe you’ll get a break.

How much does it cost a club owner to install metal detectors and security at the door. Let that sink in.

Did the DA in Colorado Springs let the killer go when he was a felon. And made it easy to purchase a weapon

Right…Blame everything except what really caused the tragedy - a nut with a gun.

It's just an opinion. Opinions don't equate to facts.

Its only in america. You need to work out why.

After the Colorado Springs attack, LGBTQ people are furious at the rhetoric targeting themColorado Springs locals and national activists said rising anti-LGBTQ rhetoric made the shooting at Club Q feel horribly predictable. By a “Non-binary” shooter. 🥴 Michelle Obama is an Oprah confederate. Her bio reflects a stable family unit as a child, that she was nurtured. She never tells the story. Bet Oprah was nurtured too but not as much. Oprah like her confederacy espouses exceptionalism. They are not. They were fortunate. Not a license to shirk the truth, to race bait, to propagate hate. Barack knows but will not admit.
