Like everyone else in the country, we are horrified and saddened at the mass shooting that occurred at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida on Sunday morning. Over 49 women and men were killed and dozens more injured by a person filled with hate and armed with an assault weapon.
The shooting happened at a time when gay pride festivities were occurring across the country, where people came together to celebrate love and togetherness. The attack also happened a week before Father’s Day, another celebration of love and appreciation.
