I'm at the courthouse in #ColoradoSprings for the preliminary hearing of the alleged #ClubQ shooter. The suspect is charged with more than 300 counts, and the hearing is scheduled for three days.
I'll thread updates here throughout the day.

If you're wondering what a preliminary hearing is, it's when prosecutors must prove to the judge there's enough evidence for a trial.

Shara Smith coming through @intrfthalliance with some great questions:
“What do you believe is the role of the independent monitor of ensuring the safety of marginalized groups? “

Candidate Liz Castle says we should have police & law enforcement make better connections to communities, not all communities are the same and need different approaches.

#ClubQ shooter’s father: “They started telling me about the incident,a shooting...And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew…I am a conservative Republican.”

“I praised him for violent behavior really early. I told him it works... You’ll get immediate results."

I got a text to do pre-check-in for #TheWife's chemo scheduled for Monday as I always did. A glitch in the system that sent me into a paroxysm of sobbing, calling to her and feeling as if I my heart would explode from the searing pain of her loss. Grief is an undertow.

Sunday has been the hardest day. Sundays have been hard for me since childhood, but this Sunday was excruciating. There was no one here all day. Just me and the vastness of the empty space where The Wife should be. Her presence was so huge, even sick she was so dynamic.

The Wife was so funny all the time. And we were funny together. It got us through the worst times. But our love for each other was huge--a cocoon,but never suffocating. It kept us safe from all the terriblenesses of her cancer,my illness, the relentlessness of homophobia.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day where we pause to reflect on those members of the transgender community lost to acts of violence. Today is especially raw due to the anti-LGBTQ terrorist attack at #ClubQ in #ColoradoSprings.
There aren’t the proper words to express the anger and sadness that senseless violence like this causes within a community. It is also important to remember that these types of targeted attacks have long lasting consequences that extend well beyond those directly targeted.
We view events like these as proof that we need to continue in our efforts to support those in the #LGBTQ+ community as they navigate the complex and powerful emotions they’re experiencing.
