Whereas, on November 19, 2022, on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance, a shooter murdered at least 5 people and injured at least 22 people at Club Q, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado;Whereas just 6 years earlier, a gunman opened fire and murdered 49 people at another LGBTQ+ nightclub, the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in what was then the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history;Whereas LGBTQ+ nightclubs often serve as a place of affirmation and refuge for LGBTQ+ people;Whereas the shooting at Club Q occurred the day before the club had planned to host a drag brunch for Transgender Day of Remembrance;Whereas extremist anti-LGBTQ+ politicians increasingly target drag events and spread lies about LGBTQ+ people, focusing often on transgender and nonbinary youth, falsely accusing them of criminal intentions or acts;Whereas anti-LGBTQ+ extremists have further spread lies and disinformation demonizing the LGBTQ+ community, especially the transgender and nonbinary community and those who support them, on social media platforms;Whereas LGBTQ+ people and the people who support them have faced increasingly violent threats in the past year;Whereas State legislators introduced more than 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills this session, and 25 of them were signed into law;Whereas the toxic combination of hate and access to guns can and has led to deadly results;Whereas in the face of harassment, threats, and violence, the LGBTQ+ community has continued to show resiliency; andWhereas all LGBTQ+ people deserve to live their lives openly without fear of hate and violence: Now, therefore, be itThat the House of Representatives—
