While authorities say they have not determined a motive or whether the shooting will be prosecuted as a hate crime, the founder of Club Q, Matthew Haynes, said Sunday that 'it very much feels targeted.'
. “You can just feel it. As a community, being through so much grief and so much loss after so many years, it’s almost like you can feel tragedy coming.”“The numbers thinned out at the club naturally with Covid, but I think people began to fear for their safety again like they did back in 2016 when Pulse happened,” he said, referring to thea gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where a gunman killed 49 people and wounded 53.
Garrett Royer, deputy director of One Colorado, a statewide LGBTQ advocacy organization, described Colorado as “a mixed bag” when it comes to LGBTQ policies. "We were the nexus of Amendment 2 in 1992, which basically codified discrimination against the LGBTQ folks in Colorado State law," Smith, who uses they/them pronouns, said.
