The UpStairs Lounge attack was the largest in U.S. history to target the LGBTQ community until 2016, when it was surpassed by the Pulse nightclub massacre.
The term “Latinx” is a hotly contested term in the community. Gender nonbinary and LGBTQ Latinxs say it’s a gender-inclusive and neutral term to refer to individuals and the community.

He explained how what had been a "great night" quickly turned deadly, as the shooter entered the club.
