Orlando Nightclub Tragedy - Discussion & Support
Early this morning a mass shooting occured at a gay night club in Orlando, Florida. Recent reports site that 50 people were killed and many more injured.
If you need more information - here are some of the news articles I have come across:
I am deeply saddened by this news report and wanted to create a space for us to talk about this tragedy and support one another. Please share how you are feeling here and lets have a supportive discussion that lifts our hearts up and honors those who have been impacted.
they said they dont care what we do behind closed door but then they kick the door down and shoot innocent people over who they love 
Events like this terrorist attack confirm that hatred is the common enemy of all humankind. Despite this tragedy I still believe in the innate goodness of people; just watch news that shows all those that have already responded to help in any way they can.
shocking and sad ! RIP.
This is really sad, And i think being on this site they will be alot of people whom are either living near this, or have been efforted by this somehow are within this community.
It is really sad to see stuff like this happening around the world, and i'm sending so much love to everybody.
Everybody will be in my prayers <3 X
R.I.P To the wonderful people whom lost they lives.
It just shows that Hate rules the world in these times we life in it seems that people don't have the compassion and empathy for their fellow human beings anymore. And hate is also a powerful emotion and it's easy to fall in that sate of mind of hating something that's different than you or person who isn't the same than you. But I still have hope in humanity because there are others that can break that chain of hatred by treating others as you would yourself by showing compassion and love towards one another :) The victims and their families are in my prayers 🙏✌
@Lucan23 Hate makes the news. This was one man with a LOT of hate in his heart. But look at everyone else. People from all walks of life, all creeds, all orientations, from just about every country on the planet have come together in support of one another. The lines to donate blood are around the block. I love the quote from Mr. Rogers' mother which says "look for the helpers", and there they are :) millions of them! One man versus millions. Love is winning!
Here in the UK, we are deeply saddened by the horrific news and I want to say on behalf of my country and the people within it we will do everything we can to support those who have been affected by this awful tragedy.
I send my condolences to all those who may be reading this now, who in any way have been affected by this. Whether it is that you've lost a friend or family member, seen some triggering scenes or read something upsetting. In any way what so ever, we're here for you. Much love <3

Thank you for creating a space to talk about this tragedy. I too am deeply saddened by this news and horrified by how many have been killed or injured. I do also hope this discussion can be a safe space that puts no blame on Islam or Muslims. If anyone wants to talk one-on-one about what has happened, please feel free to PM me.
My condolences go out to those affected by this tragedy, whether it was the loss of a loved one or just empathy for those hurt by this crime.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected who still have a chance at life; I wish them a speedy recovery, both physically and emotionally.
My sincerest apologies go to those who will receive hate for a crime they did not commit as a result of this tragedy.
It's upsetting that people are targeted based on their sexual orientation. Just when it seems like the U.S. has become more accepting to the LGBT community, an awful crime happens. God Bless those who lost loved ones, have loved ones in the hospital due to injuries, and anyone affected by the events of the shooting. It's such a shame that shootings keep happening :(
@Laura - How horribly upsetting for so many of us. So sad that free-floating hatred can be "inspired" and channeled this way.
