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.

It’s Sodomy, and these are the people outside Lot’s door.

The more we tolerate sin, the more we will get. As has been demonstrated over the last 60 years or so.

They must be misinformed, given that the killer is a gay dude who was rejected at the bar.

My feelings exactly.

I refuse to be supportive & to tell them ‘their way’ is OK.

I leave them alone-—and I do NOT seek their company. I have avoided their businesses when I realized what they were.

I will not ever be supportive-—especially when they have such an ‘in your face’ attitude.

There are millions of people who feel as you do. I am one of them.

Reminder to LAT: The murderer was not a MAGA patriot, but a co-pervert of the dead.

That doesn’t make it right, just a fact.

When LGBT gather in public places they need to have some security in place.

How come “being themselves” always involves overt, public sexuality? That’s pathological. They are nothing more than their basest instincts.

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

Indeed.

Define “hateful rhetoric”. Could that be anything like, there’s no such thing as “a homosexual”?

If it’s the Christians’ fault that a gay club in Colorado was shot up by a “non-binary” and the gay club in Florida was shot up by a Muslim ... you might be a Democrat.

“I have avoided their businesses when I realized what they were.”

Any store or restaurant that has the “Anti-Christian” flag (gay pride flag) we don’t go in and we do not give them our business. Period!

Why would I give my hard earned money to a company that wants me destroyed?

The shooter in Colorado Springs was a "non-binary". Part of the group targeted. The shooter in Florida was a muslim attacking a gay disco. It's consistent with the muslim view of gays. In any large population, there will be persons inclined to violent behavior. In most instances it is an individual defect, not representative of all members of the race/ethnicity/religious affiliation of the individual. The left is anxious to use these infrequent examples of the population as a cudgel to batter the rest of the population to enact freedom destroying laws.

The shooting took place in a blue area in CO, yet the LAT demonizes a red area in CA. Makes perfect sense to a Marxist, I suppose.

“The goal now is to marginalize Christianity & heterosexuality.”

Sure looks that way.

A very hateful homo that posts on my local liberal newsrag comment section is alway ranting about Chrisitianity.

That is a constant even when not one mention of it is made.

Some years ago I mentioned what the Old Testament said about his kind and he went berserk.
