People hold a vigil at a makeshift memorial near the Club Q nightclub, Nov. 20, 2022, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.And then thirdly…is the inaction by government on gun safety reform. Where are we on that and on social media platform accountability? So those three things have driven an environment that makes the LGBTQ community completely unsafe.
