The alleged shooter behind the Club Q attack is appearing in court today. The search for a motive behind the shooting is divided. See perspectives and news across the spectrum from michelleinbklyn, brad_polumbo, and Reuters:
The massacre this past weekend at Club Q, an L.G.B.T.Q. club in Colorado Springs, was at once shocking and entirely predictable, like terrorist attacks on synagogues and abortion clinics.

But we know that the suspect is facing hate crime charges, and that the attack took place in a climate of escalating anti-gay and anti-trans violence and threats of violence.
