“It’s not just a party place,” said Darryl Alexander, who regularly comes to Club Q with his husband, Dan. “It’s a community building.”
Darryl Alexander fondly recalls belting out “Heroes” by David Bowie on stage during a lip sync night. Last month, he took his niece to her first drag show.He clutched his husband’s hand Sunday afternoon in the pews of the All Souls church as community leaders and elected officials — including the nation‘s first openly gay governor, Jared Polis — grieved and prayed, sounding notes of resilience and heartache amidst yet another mass shooting in America.
He and his husband always ordered from one bartender, who’d give the couple a huge smile and the occasional free drink. The staffer, whom The Post is not naming because authorities have not yet identified the deceased, was killed in the flurry of bullets Saturday night.Yes, Club Q always brought the party. But it went far behind that.
Haynes and Grzecka on Sunday afternoon looked out into the masses occupying the pews, hundreds of teary-eyed men and women clad in rainbow t-shirts. They represented 20 years of people who grew up with Club Q, who frequented the establishment when nowhere else would have them. They saw couples who met in the bar, who relied on it in times of desperation and anguish.
