LGBTQ community 'in deep mourning' after Colorado Springs shootingColorado Springs' LGBTQ community is grieving after a mass shooting at a gay bar left at least five people dead and dozens injured. The shooting occurred on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance. Tragic stuff. Why is ABC still posting on twitter? It calls your integrity into question. Black on black, now gays killing gays. These minorities are a menace. First off R.I.P to the lost ones. But if the LGBTQIA community would get their radicals under control stuff like this would stop happening. Pushing gender ideology and transing the kids is a good was for bad things to happen. Normal Americans don't want this stuff around.
