On 6.12.16, our community changed forever.

A man with an assault rifle struck fear into the hearts of Americans by targeting a place of love and acceptance frequented by many people of all races, genders, and orientations. Pulse was not only a safe-haven for the gay community; it was a gathering place for many different people who acted as one community. This tragedy affects everyone on many different levels. As we continue to grieve for the victims and survivors of this tragic occurrence, we must remember that we all share 1Heart1Pulse.

Stop the Hate

49 Celebrities Honor 49 Victims of Orlando Tragedy in Ryan Murphy-Produced Tribute

For too long, a toxic combination of anti-LGBTQ hate and easy access to guns has put LGBTQ people at disproportionate risk of violence and murder. On June 12, forty-nine innocent people -- most of them Latinx -- were killed at Pulse nightclub in Orlando simply because of who they were. It's on all of us to keep their memories alive, and to ensure part of their legacy becomes meaningful action to end hate violence. Join the Human Rights Campaign and urge your legislator to support legislation that will ensure LGBTQ people are safe and equal in every community and find out how to support the survivors and families of the Orlando victims. Learn more at: StopTheHate.
