Vigils and Support for the Victims of the Orlando Shooting

Pulse nightclub was founded in part to honor a man who had died of AIDS and to promote awareness of the local LGBTQ community. Nightlife venues have historically been places of refuge for LGBTQ people and continue to serve an important role, keeping our community vibrant and connected.
 
This outrageous, senseless act of terror comes during Pride month when LGBTQ people around the world are celebrating the progress we've made towards achieving peace and equality for all. It impacts all of us. We need everyone to be united in the struggle against violence and discrimination.
