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.

this pride month just a year ago we were celebrating nationwide gay marriage and the reaction was ecstatic. now we’re standing in the devastation of america’s largest mass shooting on a gay club. so fuck everyone who thought lgbt+ rights started and ended with legalising gay marriage. homophobia is present and real and dangerous.

Reblogging this again to add some pertinent links, because I couldn’t find one definitive roundup post. A note: Blood banks in Orlando are reporting that they are AT CAPACITY and urge people to make appointments to return in the coming days. Blood has a shelf life. Also, unfortunately, no FDA bans have been lifted, which means gay men are still restricted from donating. I agree, that’s horrible. The Washington Post has a large collection of links and information which is updating as news develops, including articles to send your racist relatives who insist this attack wasn’t homophobic in nature. It was.

Need to talk?

You can call The Trevor Project at [phone]. The Trans Lifeline in the US: [phone] and Canada: [phone]. Scarleteen is open all day. You can text them at [phone].

Want to donate?

Equality Florida has set up a GoFundMe for victims of the Pulse shooting. This is the best place to donate. You can donate to Orlando hospitals through the Orlando Health Foundation. The Orlando Youth Alliance provides services to LGBTQ+ youth. The Center is Orlando’s largest LGBTQ+ organization and is taking donations.

Remember, even the shooter’s father insists this was not based on religious beliefs or ideologies. Do not use this horrific incident as an excuse to attack Muslims. These were the actions of one person driven by hate. Don’t perpetuate that hate. The Medium has posted a guide to contacting your local representatives about gun control, which you should if you are able to.

Equality Florida has an updating list of links and information as well.

fucked up to know that this is being called terrorism not because of the very real terror it’s causing for lgbt people, but because the shooter fits the news media’s racist terrorist profile

people calling america “the land of the great” and waving their stars'n'stripes banners, while im over here watching 22-year-old girls get killed by stalkers because the good ole U S of A still dont have gun control laws; seeing black kids get shot by cops for existing; witnessing an era in which cis white males can rape girls and get a six month long punishment because they can flap their hands in water well enough to float; existing in a world where being different in any way is a crime; watching an entire nation shudder in fear and disbelief because an orange coloured, flabby skinned, prejudiced old dickhead might rule an entire nation. if you still think america is great, im here to tell you: FUCK. YOU. you have your eyes closed to the horrors of your own country and then act surprised when things go to shit. slap some sense into yourself and wake the fuck up
