Our hearts are with Tucson.

We mourn Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and Cameron Davis Capara, who were killed in a senseless act of hate outside Venture-N, a place that should have been safe.

This is not just Tucson’s grief. It is a loss felt across our entire LGBTQ+ community.

To everyone feeling scared, angry, heartbroken, or simply exhausted by hate: you are not alone. You are loved. You belong.

Springfield Black Tie stands with Tucson, with the loved ones of Vincent and Cameron, and with LGBTQ+ communities everywhere. We will continue to believe in and fight for a future where everyone can live openly, gather safely, and be exactly who they are without fear.
