Rarely have we seen the mainstreaming of right-wing propaganda and the fetish for guns come together so perfectly as we did this past weekend in Colorado Springs, when an angry young man stepped into a gay bar and started shooting, killing five people and wounding 19.
The accused shooter is 22 years old and, according to a recent court filing, identifies as nonbinary. This individual already had run-ins with police after a bomb threat that led to a standoff at their family home in El Paso County, which includes Colorado Springs. There is video of that incident showing the alleged shooter rampaging through the house in combat gear, daring the police to come and get them. But those charges were dropped and the case was sealed, for unclear reasons. But as Tim Miller of The Bulwark reports, we can certainly make a reasonable guess. Even though 80% of Colorado citizens backed the "red flag" signed by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, 37 of the 64 counties in the state have decided to ignore it, calling themselves "Second Amendment sanctuaries." El Paso County is one of them.
In other words, local officials could have prevented this accused killer from legally purchasing guns if they had followed the state's duly enacted laws instead of acting like defiant criminals themselves. They won't even try to keep lethal weapons out of the hands of someone who has demonstrated an eagerness for violent confrontation with police. It's inexplicable.
Then there is the target of this attack, a gay bar and restaurant called Club Q that was hosting a drag show the night before the Transgender Day of Remembrance — a day honoring the many trans people killed in horrific hate crimes. Drag performances have been around for generations, but over the past couple of years, as the right-wing media has become obsessed transgender people, conservative politicians both locally and nationally have seized on them as a way to gin up some old-fashioned gay-bashing. They have apparently managed to convince millions of Americans that LGBTQ people are somehow "grooming" children into becoming trans, after one of their rising-star propagandists decided this was an excellent way to get the base excited. Drag shows are suddenly enemy No. 1.
So we have seen Republican Senate candidates shouting incoherently about pronouns and others babbling about "grooming," which might seem like bizarre fringe behavior if it weren't for the violence and bullying being inflicted on many highly vulnerable LGBTQ people in our families and communities.

Challenge? To do like 2 minutes of research per victim? Treating a human as a human being. Treating them how they wanted to be treated and not a talking point is about the least challenging thing to do in a major story like this. And a large part of their humanity.
They're not getting pronouns wrong on accident. It's not a challenge. And no one is "cancelling" them for that. The real "cancel culture" is murdering people for being themselves and not hurting anyone. Literally cancelling their life FFS.
You "research" everyone you meet to decide what to call them?
Children seem to know the difference between males and females:
LOL, sure do! Research? You mean simply asking them? That is if it even comes up at all. That is, also, unless they've been shot dead. Then asking is tough.
Funny thing, I don't think pronouns have ever actually come up in real life though. The two or three trans people I've met have been pretty clear that they're a guy or a girl.
I'm sure as the kids get older it may come up more.
Do you respect someone's name when they tell it to you, or do you give everyone nicknames?

Agreed, my pushback is on someone who takes the humanity out of it. And where did that originate on this specific thread??? Same person everyone is responding too who will dead and no one will care except the person that owns their viatical settlment.
That's BS. My post was merely about how difficult it can be to know someone's preferred pronouns in a situation like this.
...then the jackals descended.
Look at everything the WP dredged up, but they still couldn't determine the shooter's preferred pronouns.
How many times did they use "he/his" ?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... r-shooter/ LGBTQ club shooting suspect’s troubled past was obscured by a name change, records show
After suffering online bullying as a boy, Anderson Lee Aldrich altered his identity, documents confirm
By Joby Warrick, Robert Klemko, Razzan Nakhlawi, Alice Crites and Cate Brown
November 21, 2022 at 10:56 p.m. EST
Years before he allegedly walked into a Colorado LGBTQ bar with an assault-style rifle, the man now known as Anderson Lee Aldrich had a different name, and a tumultuous past.
Until age 15, he was known as Nicholas Brink, living in San Antonio, public records show. His parents separated when he was a toddler, and when he was 12, his mother, Laura Voepel, was arrested for suspected arson, according to court documents. She was later found guilty of a lesser offense in connection with the same incident.
At age 15, he became the target of a particularly vicious bout of online bullying in which insulting accusations were posted to a website, along with his name, photos and online aliases, according to a review of the site by The Washington Post. At some point, a YouTube account was created under his name, featuring a crude, profanity-laden animation under the title, “Asian homosexual gets molested.”
For unstated reasons, just before his 16th birthday, the young man petitioned a Texas court — with two of his grandparents’ names on the document — to legally change his entire name. His mother’s name did not appear on the petition.
Nicholas F. Brink became Anderson Lee Aldrich, who, at age 22, would gain infamy as the suspected shooter accused of killing at least five people and wounding 18 others inside the Colorado Springs bar known as Club Q. The reasons behind the choice of the new name were unclear.
Whether the events of Aldrich’s childhood had any bearing on Saturday’s horrific violence is unknown. But Aldrich’s earlier existence as Nicholas Brink, reported for the first time, offers possible answers to several key mysteries surrounding the suspected gunman. Public records and databases were oddly silent about Aldrich for the first two decades of his life.
In June 2021, Aldrich was arrested for an alleged bomb threat, one that prompted a partial evacuation of the Colorado Springs neighborhood where his mother lived at the time. He was charged with kidnapping and felony menacing, but was never prosecuted, for reasons that remain unclear. No bomb was ever found.
Despite his run-in with the law, some 17 months later, Aldrich was in possession of at least one weapon, a long gun, which he allegedly used in targeting customers and employees inside a nightclub long seen as a safe haven for the city’s gay and lesbian communities.
How the Colorado mass shooting unfolded — and ended — inside Club Q
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints confirmed in a statement to The Post that the alleged shooter was on the membership rolls of the church but had not been active in the Colorado Springs locations to the best of their knowledge.
The church, which until 2019 described people in same-sex marriages as “apostates,” condemned the shooting in a statement: “The senseless act of violence in Colorado Springs is of great sadness and concern to us. We are greatly troubled by any violence in our communities and condemn most especially violent acts that are the result of intolerance against any of God’s children.”
The mayor of Colorado Springs had said the shooting had “the trappings of a hate crime.” Asked Monday if the federal authorities would bring hate crime charges, Cole Finegan, the U.S. attorney for Colorado, said the Justice Department was “looking at all aspects of this case.”
Until now, no formal charges have been filed, and police remained tight-lipped about key details of the case. On Monday, Michael J. Allen, the district attorney for the area that includes Colorado Springs, said that Aldrich was likely to face murder and “bias-motivated” charges in connection with his arrest. Allen said formal charges were forthcoming.
Speaking at a news conference, Allen said records from the Club Q case had been placed under seal. His office had requested they be sealed, saying in a filing Monday morning that releasing them “could jeopardize” the prosecution.
Suthers and other officials deflected questions about whether Aldrich’s 2021 arrest could have led to a legal action, perhaps under Colorado’s 2019 red-flag law, to prevent the suspect from obtaining a weapon.
“Law enforcement agencies in appropriate circumstances should take advantage of it,” Suthers said of the law. “Hopefully there will be a time when there can be a specific discussion about any prior interaction with law enforcement.”
In 2019, Colorado’s legislature passed a red-flag law, which gave citizens and police departments the ability to petition a judge to have a Colorado resident’s weapons confiscated if the petitioner demonstrates that person is a danger to themselves or others.
New details about Aldrich’s 2021 incident emerged on Monday, shedding light on his disturbing behavior at the time. A video obtained by CNN appeared to show moments from a standoff between Aldrich and sheriff’s deputies who responded to reports of a bomb threat.
According to CNN, Leslie Bowman, the owner of the home where the standoff occurred, made a copy of the video before it was removed from social-media platforms. Screenshots from the video depict a visibly agitated young man wearing a helmet and what appeared to be body armor. The video shown by CNN shows the young man — identified by Bowman as Aldrich — daring law-enforcement officials to breach the house. It is not clear from the video if a bomb or weapons were present.
Little is known about what led to the confrontation. But records from Aldrich’s past as Nicholas Brink offer some insight into his formative years.
Brink was born in 2000 as the only son of Aaron and Laura (nee Voepel) Brink, of Orange, Calif., and a year later, in July 2001, the couple separated. Their divorce was finalized in September 2001, court records showed. Laura gained full custody of the toddler, along with an order forbidding any contact between father and son. In following years, she moved with her baby to Texas, living at times with the boy’s maternal grandmother.
Brink’s maternal grandfather is state Rep. Randy Voepel, a Republican assemblyman who in the past has aligned himself with the tea party movement and spoken in favor of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Voepel lost his seat in November after a redistricting change.
The family was living in San Antonio at the time of Laura Voepel’s arrest on arson-related charges in 2012. The case wound its way through a Texas court for several years, and according to court records, the defendant was ordered to undergo psychological evaluations and mandatory drug testing. Her trial resulted in the dismissal of the arson charge but she was found guilty on a lesser charge of criminal mischief.
The YouTube account under Brink’s name was opened in 2010, with a note to viewers of the channel that read, “wazzap guys, please help and subscribe.” The crude animation with the “Asian homosexual” label was added in 2012. The video received more than 300 views.
The online bullying incident that targeted Brink included photos of the then-15-year-old youth posted to a Wikipedia-like website, along with a fictitious biography riddled with insults and ridicule.
Months later, on April 28, 2016, a petition was filed in a Bexar County, Tex., court requesting a legal name change for the young man. The formal order, issued a week later, appeared under the simple heading: “Nicholas F. Brink to Anderson L. Aldrich.”

The only "program" I have is 50 plus years of my very wonderful yet crazy FLP sister trying to accomplish the very thing you are attempting. Your rhetoric sounds so familiar to me.. I need to read some sort of FLP tripe to achieve your level of enlightenment. I am battle tested over 50 years. I'm immune to the wisdom you think I must have. Thanks for trying. If you have any advice on how to combat the fungus that killed my squash plants this summer I'm all ears. Have a great Thanksgiving day. My wife and I are going to my sisters house for dinner tomorrow. The one thing we will never discuss is politics.. for all of the obvious reasons.
Sounds like 50yrs of attempting to not critically listen to family.
It started when we had a shouting match when I informed her I was joining the army to jump out of airplanes. That was 1978. She had this silly notion I was wasting my life by not going to college. I listened to her very critically, I just wanted to live my own life and do something most sane people would never do. I have no regrets whatsoever about my choice. FTR I often ask my sister for advice and I always take her advice when she gives it to me. She is proof positive in my life that 2 people can fight like cats and dogs and always love each other despite our different perspectives on life.
We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents.

“They use they-them pronouns, and for the purposes of all formal filings, will be addressed as Mx. Aldrich,” the court document noted.
It's fascinating online to see Democrat struggle to decide who to feel more sorry for, the non-binary Mx Person, or the folks he murdered.
Meanwhile, Ben Collins, who just yesterday here at Fanlax was being lauded as a hero journalist, suffered whiplash last night as he pivoted from blaming Republicans for creating a MAGA lunatic shooter, to now blaming Republicans for picking on a non-binary Mx Person so much that he decided to murder some gay folks. Democratic Journalists and their craft, great work everyone
