HRC Statement on Tragic Anti-LGBTQ+ Shooting in Tucson, AZ

We are heartbroken by the loss of Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and Cameron Davis Capara and our hearts are with their families, loved ones, and the entire Tucson LGBTQ+ community.

Once again, we are reminded that gun violence robs people of their lives, destroys families, and devastates communities. Learning the gunman was targeting LGBTQ+ friendly businesses is both chilling and enraging, and yet another dangerous example of the hate and bigotry that makes all Americans less safe. The Human Rights Campaign stands with LGBTQ+ people across Arizona in this moment, and always. We will never stop working to build a country where all of us can live openly and safely.
