The fight for LGBTQ civil rights and liberties is one of the most crucial ongoing movements of our time. It’s been one year since the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, and we are more committed than ever to defending Florida’s LGBTQ community.
One year ago today, horror gripped our state as 49 people were hatefully gunned down at a gay bar in Orlando — most of the victims young LGBTQ people of color. Yet in the days, weeks, and months following the tragic shooting at Pulse Nightclub, our LGBTQ community has become more united. We are prepared to fight discriminatory and unconstitutional policies that marginalize our community further and continue to resist efforts to pit marginalized groups against each other.
Today, we remember the 49 people who lost their lives one year ago at Pulse Nightclub, and we vow to continue to uplift, support and defend LGBTQ people. We ask that you send a message to the LGBTQ community and allies everywhere by posting on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter that today, and everyday, you will #HonorThemWithAction.

We will continue to resist hate, discrimination, and policies that seek to marginalize any groups, because only together can we find a way to achieve justice for all.
On this solemn anniversary, and every day, we stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ community.
Sincerely,
Ron Mills Editor
South Florida Scene
