Thank you, Charlotte, for letting more people know about this heinous act of domestic terrorism. And that is what it amounts to, whether or not it was a targeted attack on those attending the drag queen show. It is entirely possible that we will hear of deaths caused by the outage, and those perpetrating this atrocity need to be found and held accountable. I understand the FBI is already investigating, as well they should.

Thank you Charlotte, for posting this. I had not heard about the attack until I read your post. It angers me the terrorism that is being committed in God’s name. Thank you for the reminder that the greatest commandment is to love others.

We have seen in the last 7 years some of the most vile acts of terrorism against LGBTQA, POC, Jews and immigrants. Thank you Charlotte for standing as a beacon of light in these dark times. We need to all pull together to encourage and stay strong. I’m a straight, 60+ woman and Christian who is standing with you. Thank you for continuing to be a vocal advocate.

Peace be with you

This is so horrible. Thank you for uplifting this story. May all LGBTQ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 Folx be safe. May all the people of Moore County be safe. And may these Christian extremist right wing terrorist be jailed and wiped off the face of the earth.

Have been following you on Twitter for a while and have finally upgraded to paid Substack. I value your perspective so much and it is worth every penny. How I wish you didn't *have* to write the things you do (because they simply shouldn't be happening), but how glad I am that you do. It's hard to be hopeful most days, but you give me hope.

Oh, my goodness. I had no idea this had happened and it is infuriating and upsetting. Thank you for showing what a *real* Christian is - leading with love. I'm very sorry that this is happening and I stand with you and with this community.

Any progress on this mysterious power OUTage?

Thank you once again. I was particularly touched by your ending comments. Those red words in the Bible about “loving each other” are conveniently ignored when the “other” is endangered & vilified by so called Christians. I’m a 70 year old, cis, Christian woman who LOVES a good drag show. But then they’re full of joy & fun & love & community, something rigid evangelicals know very little about.
