Many of you may know that I live near Atlanta, because I am originally from Georgia. However, I still consider Orlando my home. Today I pray for the families that are missing their loved ones. Today we remember.

My mother and only sister lives in Sanford and a brother is in Okeechobee, my siblings and I are scattered throughout the USA and Germany, but it affected us all. I felt sick to my stomach and my heart ached and brought back fond memories of my friends and I enjoying our youth in the various gay Disco's of Philadelphia, NYC, Baltimore, D./C. and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Even one life is too much to lose! God's Blessings to all.
I will never forgot that night or Pulse. I used to go to Pulse and just loved the people, energy and everything. Such a horrible senseless tragedy may everyone RIP.

It was a horrendous tragedy and one that will be with us for a very long time. The thing that makes this anniversary even worse is a group of homophobic ministers is having a hate fest in Orlando starting tomorrow, calling for people to condemn homosexuals and praising the murders as proper reward for gay sinners. Steven Anderson is among the ministers involved. He is one of those ministers known for his sermons calling for death to homosexuals. He has also been banned from entering Ireland and Australia for his views.

People's attitudes about homosexuality sometimes reminds me not to attribute malice to what is really just stupidity and ignorance. Its hard to imagine that people are REALLY that stupid or ignorant, but damn, just stand by and watch.
I mean, you have to put a lot of effort into being that stupid or ignorant
