Celebrating Pride Month - Remembering the victims of the Pulse Nightclub massacre


June 12, 2016, a security guard who had pledged allegiance to ISIL walked into the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida and killed 49 people with a semi-automatic rifle.  Fifty-three more were injured.  The club was hosting a Latino night so most of the victims were Latin.  It is the worst attack against the LGBT in history.  It was the deadliest mass shooting until the massacre in Las Vegas the following year. 

So many young beautiful lives cut short by hate.
