The Colorado shooting is reverberating around the world, especially in gay communities like San Francisco's Castro District.
At Lookout bar, a block from San Francisco's Castro Street, many gathered for an event protesting FIFA World Cup host Country Qatar, and its anti-gay policies.
"It was already going to be a difficult day, November 20th of Transgender Day of Remembrance," said Suzzane Ford, Interim Executive Director of SF Pride. "And then on top of that we find out five of our community have been killed and over 25 people injured. Its horrifying. I'm tired of it." "I would love to think this is a safe space. This is one of the queerest cities I’ve ever been exposed to and that’s why I love living here," said Marc Repnyek. "But it really takes one person with a car and a motive and they can come from anywhere else or even someone from within the city."
Whether it’s anti-gay rhetoric that’s allowed here, or government-sanctioned hate in his homeland, Mohamed says words can manifest into physical harm.
