Colorado Springs’ Fox affiliate reports:
In the wake of the tragedy at Club Q, a flag was raised Wednesday morning, Nov. 23, at Colorado Springs City Hall in solidarity with the grieving LGBTQ+ community.
A 24 by 14 foot section of a historic pride flag now hangs at City Hall as a gesture of love and healing. This flag, known as section 93 of the ‘Sea to Sea’ flag, is on loan to Colorado Springs from the ‘Sacred Cloth’ project.
This is the same flag that flies each year in Orlando since 2016, marking the anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.
