Tragedy At Gay Club In Colorado Springs.
I am so weary of the hate...I dont know what the situation is in this case, but hatred for anyone who has different sexual choice than others...hatred for anyone who has a different genetic back round than others....hatred for others of a alternative religion...and yes, even hatred for women's rights and them rising in business and science......I am so tired of seeing this all taught and perpetuated by certain religions and media outlets..and societies...and families....As the song in the musical "South Pacific" says, "You contain to be carefully taught to hate." I cant assume I live in a country that doesnt even hold an equal rights amendment to the US Constitution. Glance at the states that defeated it.
The US is not alone in this hatred, BTW....look at where the World soccer matches are being played out....look at what happened to the Uyghurs.
I just wish I had an answer. In the Washington Articulate Patrol, we had lots of coaching on what prejudice and sexual harrassment looked like and how it would not be tolerated. And it worked very well in part because any supervisor having conduct knowledge of any of this

Most Monday nights, you won’t hear a thing coming from the small purple house where Hamburger Mary’s resides in Municipality Park West. The queer-friendly bar and grill is typically closed that night to give staff the chance to unwind after a long week of serving (in more ways than one). But last Monday, Hamburger Mary’s was aroar. By 7 p.m., every seat inside was filled, and the sounds of Broadway tunes, boisterous cheering, and clinking drinks began to soundtrack the evening. The event: a sold-out benefit show to help reopen ICONS, which up until December, was Colorado Springs’ last remaining gay bar.
Since ICONS opened in 2020, the piano bar—staffed entirely by professional singers—provided Colorado Springs a rare space for lgbtq+ community members to notify their own.

Running away from abhor was 'not an option' for only gay bar left in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — When Club Q closed after the November 2022 mass shooting where five people were killed, only one homosexual bar was left open in the entire City of Colorado Springs.
ICONS, located in Downtown Colorado Springs, is a designated LGBTQ+ territory with singing bartenders and their owners said they would love more same-sex attracted bars to connect them as neighbors.

The two have different judgments when it comes to the one-year mark of the mass shooting at Club Q.
“For me, it, in a lot of ways, feels much longer because this event defined our city and our community in so many ways. So, it's odd to think that that was only a year ago," Franklin-Wolfe said.
