Colorado Springs, Colorado, is known for its history of anti-LGBTQ hate., is still recovering from her injuries several months later.“I'm still dealing with my right arm being fractured and we have just recently gotten a piece of shrapnel out,” she said.
Their tragic deaths in an attack that is being pursued as a hate crime is the reason Gamblin has chosen to get her human rights certification to act as a human rights consultant following the tragedy. The city is a microcosm of the ongoing tension concerning LGBTQ issues around the country, as roughly 500 state bills targeting the community have creeped up across the U.S.
The politically active Christian evangelical community earned national attention for stoking culture wars focused on feminism, LGBTQ rights and abortion – earning Colorado Springs itself the reputation of “the city of hate and bigotry.”
