This isn’t just another shooting. 

This is now officially, with over 50 casualties, the worst mass shooting in United States history. And the fact that it took place at a gay club was not merely coincidence. This was not just another act of senseless violence in America. This was a hate crime. 

A man walked into a safe space for the LGBT community with an assault rifle and lined them up and slaughtered them. 

Don’t do what the media is inevitably going to do. Don’t erase where this happened and who this happened to.

When you make your statements for/against gun control, remember this was a hate crime. When you make your statements about the gunman’s reported religious beliefs, remember this was a hate crime. When your politicians make empty promises about changing the way things are, remember this was a hate crime. When you make your statements about the media’s coverage of this, remind everyone this was hate crime. 

Do not gloss over the identities of the victims. They were killed for them. This was a hate crime.

lets remember that the pulse nightclub shooting was an act of homophobic violence. it was a hate crime. the media is trying to downplay the fact that it was a gay bar, but it was one of the most well-known in orlando and if a shooter wanted to specifically target LGBT people, this is where he would have gone.

the shooter could have gone to any other club. he chose pulse for a reason. please keep the victims of this horrendous shooting in your thoughts.

BREAKING: Up to 20 dead, 42 injured in Orlando gay nightclub shooting, gunman dead

An Orlando police chief has confirmed that a mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, left at least 20 dead and 42 wounded, according to the Associated Press. This is a developing story.

[micdotcom]

Update: The nightclub shooter, who “took hostages”, reportedly died in a “gunbattle with SWAT officers.” According to the AP, an FBI spokesman says the Pulse “mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism.” Pulse responded in the moment last night with a heartbreaking and terrifying Facebook post.

Update: “I was thinking, are you kidding me? So I just dropped down. I just said please, please, please, I want to make it out,” said Christopher Hansen, a Pulse patron who told the AP he was in the nightclub’s VIP lounge when the shooting started, “And when I did, I saw people shot. I saw blood. You hope and pray you don’t get shot.”

Pulse describes itself as “Orlando’s hottest gay bar” on its website. The shooting took place during “Upscale Latin Saturday”, which Pulse celebrates weekly on Saturday nights. According to The Daily Beast, club owner Barbara Poma’s decision to open Pulse was spurred by a family tragedy. This is a developing story.

Update: Law enforcement sources told CBS News they have identified the suspect as Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen from Port St. Lucie, Florida, who was born to Afghan parents in 1986.

The L.A. Times’ Matt Pearce confirmed authorities had given the name to the paper’s D.C. bureau as well.

Orange County Sheriff’s Office spokesman also told CBS how they are classifying this incident.

For the latest info the shooting.

Because when I was 13 years old, I was sent home for my tank top straps being a little too thin, but a boy could wear a Cool Story babe, Go Make Me A Sandwich shirt and not be looked at twice. Because when I was 17 and I told a guy “No” and the next day the word tease was painted on my locker. Because when I was 18 and just wanted to be friends, I was a bitch. Because I feel the need to say “I have a boyfriend” instead of “No” because guys respect other men more than they would ever respect me. Because society screams “don’t get raped” instead of “don’t rape” Because I am scared to walk alone at 10 PM Because being beautiful is the most important thing I’ll ever do. Because when I wear my favorite skirt “I’m asking for it” Because the song Blurred Lines exists Because no means no no matter how you fucking spin it Because a girl was drugged and raped with a beer bottle, and the boys who did it are out on bail. Because I owe you nothing Because pepper spray is a gift I receive yearly. Because I am asked if I have a boyfriend more than I am asked about my mental health Because my clothes say more about my consent then my mouth does. Because the wage gap exists Because “not all men are like that” is said way too often ENOUGH ARE Because I feel the need to say “I’m not a feminist but…” Because I’m writing this fucking piece
