Hopefully this is a wake up call. Imagine how many acts of hate towards our LGBTQ community go unheard of or unnoticed. Let people be

Peace is the result of accepting one another & to love life as it is, rather than to hate because it's not the way you want it to be. One ??
— Datsik (@datsik) June 14, 2016
Like if you can fucking witness an atrocity like what happened last night and still oppose gun control with a clear conscience than idk man.
— EDM KLAY THOMPSON (@Jauzofficial) June 12, 2016
How to stand up to the gun lobby? How to break down the power of the NRA? This has got to stop
— Annie Mac (@AnnieMac) June 12, 2016
While I can understand (not condone) political ambition, greed, power lust etc--- I find actual hatred completely alien and so truly sad.
— Tiga (@Tiga) June 13, 2016
How many things have to be wrong inside your mind for you to actually seek to harm another person because they are different.
— Tiga (@Tiga) June 13, 2016
Hopefully the silver lining in all this is that we grow from this tragedy and unite to stomp out this prejudicial bullshit.

Pulse is exactly the kind of hometown club that saved my life. It is the kind of place that let me live as a young person.

The first gay club I ever went to was in basement of a gay bookstore. My middle school teacher was working the door. I was 15.
— The Black Madonna (@blackmadonnachi) June 13, 2016
I have spent 25 years of my life in primarily queer or queer friendly clubs where I made friends that stood with me in my darkest hours.
— The Black Madonna (@blackmadonnachi) June 13, 2016
So help me god if someone ever comes in another gay club Im in and so much as looks at my people sideways again, I will unleash hell.
