I can’t seem to find the words to describe how sad the Orlando shooting is. To many people, it’s just another shooting. To some, it’s a political statement. However, to me, it’s a stark reminder of the reality that I cannot escape. The world is not safe right now, and for as many people who are understanding, there are just as many who want nothing more than for your identity to be shunned, or worse. I’m scared for the people who were affected, and also for everyone who isn’t straight or cis. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Everyone is just different and we need to accept that.
