My heart is heavy thinking about the victims, survivors, their loved ones, the LGBTQ community, and everyone who is sad and afraid today

trans rights and gay rights are inseparable, trans safety and gay safety are irrevocably intertwined.

UPDATE: It is now law! The Colorado Governor has now signed it into law! This is huge!
Colorado Senate passed a bill today allowing felons to change their name in Colorado. They have to have good reasons, one being Transgender Affirming Care. As a transgender felon who has struggled with hearing their deadname too many times and is from Colorado this means a lot! I have been on T for over two and half years now and never thought I'd see this happen! It needs to go to the Governors Desk to be signed now, but this is huge news!

Why do you think the colorado q club shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich stopped shooting? Because they were asked nicely? Because the victims started begging then they came to their senses? Nope, it was because a trans person beat the crap out of them, it was because an army vet was willing to sacrifice their lives to protect everyone.
Good intention, prayer, and thoughts don't do anything, actions do.

I live an hour away from Colorado Springs.
I live forty minutes away from Boulder.
I live thirty minutes away from Aurora.
I live in Arvada, two minutes away from where John Hurley stopped a man from killing dozens in Olde Town before he was killed himself. I was there that day.
I lived In Fort Lauderdale, Florida when the shooting at Pulse Nightclub happened. I had just been there that past weekend.
I'm only 34 years old, and my life has been touched by so many shootings. But I'm lucky. I'm still here.
But there are many that aren't and it is not fair. They should all be alive. All of them. This country has many issues, but hatred is at the top.
When will it be enough? When will we wake up, and see the world that should be? Why must we see so much hate and death and vitriol being spewed at us, especially by those in power?
Black people want to live.
Disabled people want to live.
LGBT+ people want to live.
Latino people want to live.
Asian people want to live.
Jewish people want to live.
WE JUST WANT TO LIVE.
Why won't you let us?

To be woken up by my sister at 3 in the morning, asking if I or friends were here was definitely not something I wanted.
My community at home just got attacked and I doubt we'll get justice, but I need you all to know. Our community is still at risk, still in danger, and tonight just solidified it.
As far as I know, no one in my circle was there, and thankfully I don't frequent the clubs, but my roommate *does*. I'm just glad he's got a cold and wasn't out.
