The Bay Area woke up on Sunday to news of the tragic shooting in Colorado, and it was triggering to many in the the LGBTQ+ community who have witnessed other shootings targeting at them nationally.
"Until we get our arms around mental health issues and guns in this country, it's going to be a reality," Bowers said.A solemn sound came from the San Francisco Men's Gay Chorus Sunday night at a vigil honoring the victims from the deadly shooting."It's devastating, but we are not going anywhere, we will be around, we will get through this and comeback," said San Francisco resident, Chris Stevenson.
Five people were gunned down and killed at Club Q in Colorado Springs on the eve of Transgender Remembrance Day. Sunday afternoon, on the steps of San Francisco City Hall, the community gathered to honor the trans lives lost this year. "That's the job of this city and our organization: to let people know it's not hopeless. You can grow up and be who you are you can love who you want," Ford said."It's scary. It's gut wrenching. It's tragic, and I really hope folks woke to recognize our fight is not over," said Anjali Remi, calling the shooting a call to action.
"When you hear someone say something negative about LGBTQ people and you don't say something then you're part of what happened and I'm going to call that out," Ford said. "Every time I do one of these interviews, I'm going to call that out. It starts with hate that we allow to happen."
