When Anderson Lee Aldrich shot up the Club Q gay bar in Colorado Springs, killing 5 and injuring 18, the liberal media was quick to label it a hate crime and blame Republicans. As it turns out, the shooter identifies as nonbinary, which means there was definitely a different motive than anti-LGBT hatred for the massacre. And like that, the liberal media throws the story down the memory hole.
The Club Q shooting was already a gun control failure story because Anderson Lee Aldrich was arrested last year for threatening to blow his mother up and Colorado’s red flag law did nothing to disarm him. Now the story is a hate crime failure as well.
The NY Post reports:
Anderson Lee Aldrich, the suspect in the deadly Colorado LGBTQ nightclub massacre, is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, their lawyers said in new court filings Tuesday.
Public defenders Joseph Archambault and Michael Bowman filed several motions on Tuesday night that included a footnote about their client’s identity.
“Anderson Aldrich is nonbinary,” the footnote states, the Denver Post reported. “They use they/them pronouns, and for the purposes of all formal filings, will be addressed as Mx. Aldrich.”
So just what the heck does it mean to be nonbinary? Well, nonbinary, or queergender, is a transgender person who doesn’t identify as male or female but at the same time identifies as a gender that differs from the one they were born with. It’s confusing but definitely falls within the LGBT community.
What this means is that someone in the transgender spectrum killed people at a gay night club, which qualifies as gay-on-gay crime and not an anti-gay hate crime. Police haven’t established a motive for the shooting yet, but it could be that Aldrich is kind of messed up in the head.
For the past two days, the liberal media and democrats have classified this shooting as a hate crime and pointed the finger at Republicans and conservative media for what they call violent anti-LGBT rhetoric.
Even White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got in on the action:
KJP: “This attack also comes amidst a rise in violent rhetoric and threats against the LGBTQI+ people across the country. While we don’t know yet for certain the motive of this attack, hate has no place in this country and neither do military style assault rifles.” pic.twitter.com/YSybevMg7t

Well gosh, if she doesn’t know the motive for the shooting, why is she saying it’s a hate crime inspired by right wing rhetoric?
Now that it’s been revealed that Aldrich is nonbinary, not a single liberal media stooge or democrat has retracted their statements blaming the shooting on conservatives. They spout off before the facts are in but once the facts are established, they clam up because it doesn’t feed their narrative.
And here’s something else to ponder: Since liberals have established that rhetoric is to blame for the killings and Aldrich is a member of the LGBT community, doesn’t that mean that elementary school LGBT grooming and children’s drag shows are the real culprits?
