'These attacks like the one at ClubQ are designed to scare us from living authentically and honestly. But to our community and to the world, just know this: We are not afraid, we are empowered, we are strong, and we are proud.'
"Republicans on my committee and across the country will be forced to face the real-life impact of their dangerous agenda," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney.Survivors of last month's deadly shooting at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, will be among those testifying this week when federal lawmakers hold a hearing on how a surge in bigoted legislation pushed by Republicans has been linked to an uptick in violent attacks on LGBTQ+ communities.
"From Colorado Springs to my own district in New York City, communities across the country are facing a terrifying rise of anti-LGBTQI+ violence and extremism,"Maloney in a statement."Make no mistake, the rise in anti-LGBTQI+ extremism and the despicable policies that Republicans at every level of government are advancing to attack the health and safety of LGBTQI+ people are harming the LGBTQI+ community and contributing to tragedies like what we saw at Club Q.
"These attacks like the one at Club Q are designed to scare us from living authentically and honestly," Anderson."But to our community and to the world, just know this: We are not afraid, we are empowered, we are strong, and we are proud. Love will win."
