Just minutes before Transgender Remembrance Day on Sunday, November 20th, a gun man opened fire at Club Q in Colorado Springs taking the lives of 5 and injuring 25. Of yet another attack on a community that has had enough — another case of senseless gun violence and a shooting that is by the significance of time and place filled with hate — Senator Osgood says:
“The members of the LGBTQ+ community cannot feel safe to be themselves in school or many times at home. Club Q was a place for the LGBTQ+ community to go where they felt safe to be themselves. That is no longer the case. Unfortunately the number of places our LGBTQ+ community can feel safe is shrinking. Everyone has to have a safe place in order to grow and thrive,” said Senator Osgood. “It is up to the rest of us as a whole community to give all human beings the opportunity to live their lives safe and free of hate and to stand up for individuals in the minority.”
