Father of accused Colorado club shooter relived that son isn't gay [View all]
‘I'm sorry I let my son down’ | Father of accused Colorado club shooter speaks out
Aaron Brink, 48, said he praised his son for violent behavior.
...Then, two days ago, Brink got a call from his son's defense attorneys, telling him Aldrich was involved in a shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs.
Brink said he's a Mormon and his first reaction was to question why his son was at a gay bar.
“You know Mormons don't do gay. We don't do gay. There's no gays in the Mormon church. We don't do gay,” Brink said.

"They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out it's a gay bar. I got scared, 'Shit, is he gay?' And he's not gay, so I said phew... I am a conservative Republican."
