Another day, another mass shooting — and this one appears to be an anti-LGBTQ hate crime.

At least, the owners of Club Q in Colorado Springs are calling it that, and barring more information, I would think their knowledge of the situation surpasses that of anyone else's:

Club Q is devastated by the senseless attack on our community. Our prays and thoughts are with all the victims and their families and friends. We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack.

According to authorities, a call went out at 11:57 p.m. from Club Q describing an active shooter.

The response was quick, and a wounded suspect was taken into custody. No information is yet available as to their identity, but a press conference to be held 8 a.m. local time Sunday may change that.

As for motive, it is tempting to assume the wave of anti-queer and anti-drag rhetoric could have sparked this, but we don't know that yet. What we do know is that Club Q's final Facebook post before the slaughter fits that scenario:

Let’s prep for a fantastic Sunday Funday!

 

Doors open at 11am for our noon ALL AGES DRAG BRUNCH!!! Join us for a fantastic drink special and even more amazing drag show!

 

Then stick around for an all stars cast of our freshest faces! We’re celebrating Transgender Day of Remembrance with a variety of gender identities and performance styles! Show starts at 8pm!

 

Just a senseless, senseless loss of life, and as the post notes, today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.

 

Meanwhile, Libs of TikTok — welcomed with open arms by Elon Musk — targeted another drag brunch and Colorado legislator HOURS AFTER this violence.
