Brown & Gay in LA: Colorado Shooting Provokes Painful Memories

Listen 15:47
(Update) #10: Since the news hit most of us on Sunday morning, we've been thinking about the mass shooting in Colorado Springs. A gunman opened fire in an LGBTQ nightclub, killing at least 5 people and wounding several others, just 6 years after another shooting in another LGBTQ club in Orlando, Florida. These incidents have hit the queer community hard as many, especially Black and Brown LGBTQ folks, still struggle to find their place, even in liberal places like L.A. As we reflect on this moment, we bring back a portion of a conversation we had with sociology professor Anthony Ocampo, author of the book Brown and Gay in LA, and talk to Tre'vell Anderson, host of the podcast FANTI.
