On Monday night’s “Dancing With the Stars” finale, drag queen Shangela, who was one of the final four couples competing for the Mirrorball trophy, addressed the weekend mass shooting at an LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs, Colorado In which 5 people were killed and 13 were injured.
“Emotions are overwhelming because there is so much going on in the world, in our country.” She called the attack at Club Q “a terrible tragedy”. The venue was hosting a drag show when shooter Anderson Aldrich launched his fatal attack.
“Baby, let me tell you, the attack on the LGBTQ community can’t be supported, can’t be loved. This moment here is about sharing more love and less hate and hopefully we can stand up for each other.” Let’s start celebrating the differences and not divide. Our hearts and thoughts go out to all those who lost their lives, those affected. But just know, there is hope, baby.
Aldrich is facing five counts of first-degree murder and five counts of a crime of premeditation causing bodily injury. CNN Reported on Monday.
