Club Q was hosting a “Drag Divas” show followed by a DJ night on Saturday the night before Trans Day of Remembrance.

New to Colorado Springs, Aeron Laney and Justin Godwin went to Club Q on Saturday evening for their first night out on the town, they said. The pair stayed for two hours to watch a drag show and left at 11:54 PM, a handful of minutes before the gunman entered, they added.

For Laney, who is bisexual, it was the first time ever going to an LGBTQ bar.

“It’s devastating,” Laney, 24, said, standing outside the bar on Sunday evening. “We thought we had found a new home and a community, and we were expecting to make new friends and making this a regular place to go where we could openly be ourselves and now it’s just gone — it’s just ripped away.”

They estimate that roughly three dozen people were at the bar when they left. With five dead and 25 others wounded, according to police, “We just keep thinking everyone we saw was a victim,” Laney said.
