Fears of another targeted attack on the LGBTQ community have been on Tiara Latrice Kelleys mind ever since 2016, when a gunman killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in her hometown of Orlando, Florida.

In 2018, Kelley moved to Colorado and began producing and hosting LGBTQ events at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Last month, her fears of further bloodshed came true.

This is kinda deja vu, reliving it all over again, Kelley said of the Nov. 19 shooting at her workplace that left five people dead and at least 19 others injured. Kelley had hosted a drag show at Club Q the day before the attack.

Pulse is a club that I grew up at, she said. It was one of the first clubs I ever performed at. I was heavily involved with the aftermath of Pulse.

For the second time now, Kelley said she is working to raise money for LGBTQ people who have been victimized by gun violence. Shes raised more than $15,000 for former Club Q staffers, including herself, who have lost some or all of their livelihood due to the clubs closure.

Kelley and other fundraisers are making sure that bills are taken care of, in that none of the people ... affected by this will have to suffer more loss due to not having income, she said. Shes raising money through a GoFundMe page and via in-person charity events, including a benefit show last week. Ads for the show noted that it would feature armed security for attendees.

I think healing together is whats going to be the key here, Kelley said. Thats whats definitely been key for me, being able to give back to my community and help my community and just be there. Love one another.
