Man walks into a nightclub and 48 families lose their loved ones. Man walks into a nightclub and pride flags fly at half mast. Man walks into a nightclub and the politics of people’s lives becomes the focus of news bulletins and talkshows. Man walks into a nightclub and queer men get turned away from donating blood to their friends and loved ones.

Man walks into a nightclub and I am reminded that even in this community not all are treated equally. Man walks into a nightclub and I am crying for the queer youth who will be too scared to come out for fear that someone might not just kick them out or reject them but because they have reason to fear for their lives. Man walks into a nightclub and I have to call my ex-girlfriend who lives three states over and beg her to go home for the night. Man walks into a nightclub and I don’t feel safe anywhere anymore. Man walks into a nightclub and I know that could’ve been me.
Now when I walk into a nightclub I make sure to hold my loved ones a little closer.
Now when I walk into a nightclub I make sure to dance a little harder.
Now when I walk into a nightclub I make sure I stop and I remember them every single time.
