Five years ago today, a gunman opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Orlando, killing 49 and wounding 53 more. It is the deadliest incident of violence against LGBTQ people in US history.
We must #DisarmHate and ensure everyone is safe from gun violence. #HonorThemWithAction
Five years ago today, a gunman filled with hate took the lives of 49 people and wounded over 50 others at Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, Florida—the largest targeted attack against the LGBTQ+ community to date.
No other high income country turns on the news Saturday morning to hear how many were killed in mass shootings the night before.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
It’s been five years since the horrific shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, where 49 were killed and 53 injured.
My thoughts are with the victims’ families, survivors, and LGBTQ community nationwide. We must meet the threat of hatred and gun violence with action.
