Rally, vigil held in Connecticut to honor victims of Colorado LGBTQ+ bar shooting
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — A rally and vigil had been held Saturday in Connecticut in tribute to the 5 individuals killed at an LGBTQ+ bar in Colorado Springs final week.
Supporters gathered at Blue Again Sq. in West Hartford.
It has been one week since the lethal taking pictures at Membership Q in Colorado Springs.
Organizers of Saturday’s rally condemned the mindless tragedy and what they are saying is a rising epidemic of homophobia fed by discriminatory laws and insurance policies.
They inspired others to face as much as LGBTQ+ hate by demonstrating, writing letters or emails, making calls or displaying flags.
