Early Monday morning, Vincent Siquieros and Cameron Capara were murdered outside Venture-N, a neighborhood gay bar in Tucson, Arizona. Tucson police are currently investigating the incident as a hate crime, and authorities report the suspect was carrying a list of LGBTQIA+ businesses.
Our bars, clubs, and local gathering spots are meant to be safe spaces for our community. Tragedies like this are a painful reminder that too often, they are not.
As this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, we are once again forced to confront a horrific reality: anti-LGBTQIA+ violence remains a severe and rising threat in America.
Our hearts break for the loved ones of Vincent and Cameron.
NYC stands in solidarity with the city of Tucson and the entire LGBTQIA+ community.
