Last Friday at a backyard punk show, Quinn McClurg was taking photos of her friends smiling at 10:02 p.m. In mere minutes, the venue became a site of a mass shooting that targeted its queer and trans attendees.
The show was held in the backyard and garage area of Nudieland, a venue located south of Minneapolis, Minn. By the end of the night, six were injured and one was pronounced dead—a beloved member of the community known as August Golden.
McClurg is a 21-year-old poet, journalist and student at the University of Minnesota. She is also a trans woman. Having moved to Minneapolis only in 2021, DIY shows like Nudieland were quick to take her in.
“DIY shows are one of the only regularly safe places for trans folks, queer folks, punks and everybody to get together and socialize,” McClurg told Reckon. “Because everybody you know and love is there. People you’ve worked in the encampments with, people you’ve done protests with—everybody’s there.” Nudieland is more than a home
Nudieland derived from its sibling venue, Disgraceland two years ago as an expansion. But it isn’t just a venue; Nudieland houses many of its punk patrons. A resident of the house who requested anonymity for their safety shared with Reckon that Nudieland never strove towards being a haven for queer and trans punks because it just already was to begin with.
The resident, who is also trans, said, “This is not a unique space. So many of the punkhouses I started going to, as young as 16, in and around Southside [Minneapolis], were the same way: there was no striving, we were just in it together, whoever walked in. We’ve always been freaks.”

Sins of every flavor abound.
Does the shooter have a manifesto which we are not allowed to read?
“hate-fueled”
How do they know that? It could’ve been the FBI showing up at the wrong address.
Dont any of these faggots actually have real jobs?
I must demand that NO PICTURES be posted. You will promptly be reported to Jim should you disregard this message! (J/k)
Hell is going to be a lot like Nudieland. Just no fun and games and a lot hotter.
Do Minnesomalians write manifestos?
As opposed to a Love filled mass shooting?
I do NOT want to know how the firearms were smuggled into the place.
The first impression is that someone is angry that people are expressing themselves in sexually diverse ways. Personally I think most people who object to such things also object to using violence as a way of showing their objection. I think it’s pretty easy to avoid nudieland. I personally never heard of it before now. At any rate I suspect a jealousy issue entirely within the “community” itself but no smart media person will miss an opportunity to misrepresent the cause at the very beginning.
This about a mass shooting not sex.
Other reports indicate the cops are looking for Latino suspects
According to the information they’ve collectively gathered, two men wandered upon the show and pursued two queer women.
In an Instagram post by MPR News, a user who attended the show commented, “They were trying to flirt with me and my friend—who both identify as lesbians—and we told them we weren’t interested and not to touch us. They got upset and eventually walked off, and less than a minute after [they] started firing.”
The Dan Bongino 48 hour rule should apply here. Something tells me that this will end up being a 'lover's spat' among the transgendered and lesbian communities, not a couple of MAGA straight guys inadvertently crashing a trans nightclub and shooting the place up because they got rejected.
Sounds like a pretty gross place to be. So the media will take 1 incident, blow it up, and use it to attempt to shame us all into allowing pedophiles and freaks access to our children.
Nuke the site from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.
The powers that be not only approve of pedophilia, they promote it and encourage it. We are a nation in decline
Indeed.
And it won’t be very enjoyable!
