The Colorado Springs community continues to grapple with the aftermath of the deadly mass shooting at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub, which occurred a year ago. Following the tragedy, the conservative community in Colorado Springs has been compelled to confront its reputation for being unwelcoming to gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals. The Human Rights Campaign released a report highlighting an 'epidemic of violence' targeting the transgender community, with at least 33 deaths in the past 12 months. Additionally, a survey revealed that about 26% of transgender adults aged 50 and older contemplated suicide within the past year, compared to an estimated 17% of the older general population. The pandemic has also been linked to disruptions in adolescent brain development, with studies suggesting that brain scans could predict teenagers' mental health during stressful times.
