all it takes is one homophobe with a gun. just one. in a gay bar opened in honour of the owner’s brother who died from aids, named specifically for his heartbeat as a place that was intended to keep his spirit alive. shooter saw two men kissing in front of his wife and kid and got “very angry”. 50 people dead, 53 in the hospital, because one guy who owned a gun saw two guys kiss and got mad

okay wow i’m actually fucking LIVID at the lack of media coverage about the actual anti-lgbt domestic terrorist attack that happened this morning in orlando, florida (less than three hours from my house)

for everyone who hasn’t heard (which is most people) the shooter opened fire at around 2 am in the gay night club, pulse. reportedly over 50 rounds were fired and the man also had an explosive device on him. some people escaped, but there was a confirmed hostage situation. the police literally are not even putting an official death toll on this. they are just saying that there have been “mass casualties” and several people who escaped the scene said that “there were more dead bodies than they’ve ever been able to comprehend around them“. the police are literally calling this an “act of domestic terrorism”.

when this happened in paris, the eyes of the world were on them. everyone had a supportive french flag filter on their photos. there were tributes and memorials all over the world and almost constant news coverage. there was a safety check-in feature on facebook for those in the area.

i have SO many lgbt friends who live in orlando and i have no idea if any of them are safe. i’m seeing that one of my brother’s friends, who i’ve known since i was little and is a local DJ, has made it out unscathed. that’s all i’m hearing.

WHY are we not being treated with the same respect as any other terrorist attack????

PLEASE make sure that this attack against the lgbt community is as loud as the other senseless acts of violence that the media places priority on!!!!
