Academics blame ‘right-wing’ for gay club shooting – but suspect is ‘non-binary’

“In new court filing, public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado gay club that left 5 people dead say that their client is non-binary and that ‘they use they/them pronouns,’” New York Times reporter Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs tweeted late Tuesday night. “The lawyers refer to their client as Mx. Anderson Aldrich.”

Aldrich was born Nicholas Brink but has since changed his name. He reportedly threatened his mom with a homemade bomb in 2021, according to CNN.

But despite a record of mental health and family strife, the suspect’s dad served time in prison and his parents have been divorced for 21 years, academics were positive that conservatives were to blame.

University at Buffalo administrator Ben Fabian wrote that he had “no doubt in the coming days we will learn that the motive of the 22 year old young person who turned to violence was influenced by hateful rhetoric online and within right-wing media.”

Fabian is also the president of the campus LGBTQ Faculty and Staff Association and wrote the message on Monday. He blamed lawmakers who had supported legislation limiting LGBT materials in schools and wanted prohibitions on transgender surgeries and drugs for the killing as well.

While the past few days have seen widespread sanctimonious accusations of "stochastic terrorism" directed at reasonable people who wonder why chimos in wigs should be allowed to creep around the girls' locker room, I have seem remarkably little mention of the fact that the enby shooter is the son of a porn star.
