After Colorado Springs shooting, LGBTQ people in red California are on edge
The Los Angeles Times via MSN ^ | November 28, 2022 | by Hailey Branson-Potts

After five people were shot dead in a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colo., Matthew Grigsby thought about Club 501.

It was the only gay bar in Redding, a Northern California city of 93,000 that, like Colorado Springs, is deeply religious and conservative.

There, Grigsby felt comfortable holding hands or dancing with another man.

Club 501 closed this summer, leaving Grigsby and other LGBTQ people without a place where they could be themselves. The news from Club Q in Colorado Springs was another gut punch.

"There's no safe place anywhere," Grigsby, 53, said, his voice shaking. "It doesn't matter where we are or what we do. People are going to come for us."

The Colorado Springs attack comes at a time when hateful rhetoric against LGBTQ people — especially from Republican politicians and conservative pundits — is on the rise.

That’s a community full of mentally ill people. Of course those mentally ill people are going to commit violence against their own community. There is absolutely nothing new about this.

Wasn't it confirmed that the perp was homosexual. But that is not important when the agenda trumps the truth. And what about apologies. Not holding my breath.

What a bunch of lying SOBs. First it was Smollett, then it was Paul Pelosi, now this incident.

The MSM and the leftist must think that we are idiots with short memories.

I used to be tolerant and felt “you live your life I’ll live mine”. Well, we all know it didn’t work out like that and I have zero tolerance for gays and the other leftist perverted groups. They pushed their crap way too far-—the media, public schools, colleges, families, etc.

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your heart it will creep
Starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line the men come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?

With apologies to Buffalo Springfield

Why? It wasn’t a red state MAGA dude that shot them. It was one of their own deviant faggots.

Looks like they need to be frightened about their own kind.

The goal now is to marginalize Christianity & heterosexuality.
The far left has accomplished their complete takeover of the federal government and is well on their way of taking over a majority of the state governments.
Once they get everything, I suspect we will see a purge of Straights & Christians in this country.

The LGBTQTIP people really need a safe place to hang out so they will stay away from everybody else.

The greatest threats to homosexuals is from other homosexuals. Cops call it homocide. Soros DAs almost never prosecute. There is always overt violence often leading to death within the homosexual and derivative community. Its part of gay culture.

They should be nervous. As crazy as the people in Colorado seem to be, they are crazier and more plentiful in Kalifornica.

“It doesn’t matter where we are or what we do. People are going to come for us.”

More rational approach:

“It doesn’t matter where we are or what we do. Other homosexuals are going to come for us.”

When they used the force of law and civil suits to pry their way in to family and religious society they, not others, made it a conflict.

"There's no safe place anywhere,"

Maybe the "closet?"
