#orlando shooting
In case anyone was wondering, I’m fine, and all my loved ones as well. My heart goes out to anyone who was affected by the shooting though, and I’d like to encourage everyone to please donate blood if you’re in the Orlando area, or if you have the means, you can donate to EqualityFlorida’s gofundmehere: https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund to help support victims and their families. Thanks <3
I’m unable to hold vigil tonight home in Orlando with my family and friends so I did all I could do: Make art. To all of my fellow Orlando LGBT+ family, and those elsewhere, I love you all. Let’s hold fast and stay strong in these tough times. In a world filled with such hate, let’s show that love will always win.

Words are elusive, but still I grasp at them. Like my pain, they will be neither clear nor coherent.
Dear Family,
Tears continue to leak from my eyes for Orlando. Anguish has been washed all over my face. I’m convinced that numb is a feeling, for I’ve felt it far too often. The singular queer and trans deaths we have known over the years have been like daggers, but this was an explosion and my heart weeps for you and for myself. I long for souls that I never knew personally.
This tragedy has been a great reminder. As someone who’s had the privilege to be out as queer since 14, this senseless act has reminded me of those days of fear. Days when the suffocation of silence outweighed the risk of being bold. Days when I second guessed saying who I really was. When I worried about being abandoned and alone. Before I knew that all you existed.

it was at this same time of night three years ago that the pulse massacre took place in orlando, so please take some time today to remember and mourn for the 49 primarily latine lgbt people who were murdered that night. And don’t let anyone brush aside the fact that one of the deadliest mass shootings in american history was against the gay community
here’s a link to an article remembering the lives of all 49 victims as well as a link where you can donate to the fund to turn the sight of the nightclub into a permanent memorial
