COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Every year on Thanksgiving and Christmas, members of the LGBTQ community here would come to eat, drink and laugh at Club Q.

Club Q’s staff and customers became that family. “It’s not just a party place,” said Darryl Alexander, who regularly comes to the club with his husband, Dan. “It’s a community building.” This community was s...
