"Survivors' Struggles and Remembrance: One Year After Club Q Shooting"

One year after the deadly shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, survivors are grappling with pain, trauma, and unpaid medical bills. The LGBTQ community is divided over the club's reopening, with some survivors expressing concerns about the management prioritizing profit over community healing. Survivors also faced delays and red tape in receiving donations raised for them, with frustrations over the lack of transparency and coverage for medical expenses. Meanwhile, the Colorado Healing Fund announced it will release the remaining funds to survivors after a year of pushback. The aftermath of the shooting comes amid a rise in hate speech and anti-LGBTQ legislation, with over 500 anti-LGBTQ state bills and 700 incidents of threats and attacks documented in the past year.
