HeadlineJun 12, 2017

In Orlando, Florida, hundreds of people gathered Sunday night for a vigil to honor the 49 people who were killed at the Pulse nightclub massacre one year ago. The shooting at the LGBT club was the deadliest mass shooting in recent U.S. history. The majority of those killed were young LGBT people of color. During Sunday night’s vigil, 49 people dressed as angels and carried candles as they surrounded the club, which is being converted into a memorial to honor the massacre victims.
