We still don’t know how to process all this terrible news.
In the most deadly mass shooting in modern American history, 49 members of the gay community were murdered at Pulse Nightclub‘s Latino Night in Orlando, Florida early Sunday morning.
Police have already identified the killer as 29-year-old Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, however, we think it would be more appropriate to honor the lives lost than to focus on the man who took them away.
