Club Q was a home, a sanctuary, a haven for countless people. Five Coloradans share what it meant to them.

LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs remembered as a place people fell in love with themselves, each other and their art.

The flag, known as Section 93 of the Sea to Sea Flag, is on loan to Colorado Springs from the Sacred Cloth Project in the wake of the Club Q shootings. The flag has traveled the globe to be displayed at celebrations, occasions of mourning, and historic moments. Section 93 was displayed in downtown Orlando in June 2016, following the deadly Pulse nightclub shootings, and has returned to Orlando each year on the anniversary of that tragedy.
