We Will Not Let Hate Win

A moment to remember all those who were affected by the Pulse attack one year ago. Our 49 angels are watching over us.

One year ago today I woke up in Ecuador to the news of the Pulse massacre. For the rest of that day, and that week, and to some extent still today, I felt as if I was encased in an opaque bubble. Nothing could get through, and nothing could get out. I have never experienced such isolation. 

Today we remember the victims of the Pulse shooting, remembering especially that they were largely Latinx, and that even among the LGBTQ+ community queer people of color are the most at risk. Forty-nine lives were extinguished. We cannot make sense of it, but we can remember those lost, and look toward the future, knowing that they are still with us.

Something I've noticed is that, similarly to how every American knows where they were when they heard about 9/11, every single LGBTQ+ person I know- including myself- knows exactly where they were when they heard about the Pulse attack; no point to this post, I'm just highly intrigued by this phenomenon, though if others would like to add to this post, I'd be completely alright with that. I think this post is mostly to help me process that it's been a full year since the attack. And I, and all of my friends, can still remember vividly every detail of how, where, when, and what we found out, and how we responded to the news. Anyhow, this is just something I was thinking on, this morning, which is actually the morning after the first anniversary. I love you all, my fellow LGBTAQIPD family. Let us remember those beautiful angels, and let us make them proud, and make ourselves feel proud! Happy Pride, 2017

It's been a year since the Pulse attack and I hope everyone is alright now.

A tribute that I did for Orlando-- and yes, it's garnet-- not entirely as a choice of character though! I was working on a sketch of her when I heard the horrendous news, and it felt like more than fate to dedicate this piece to all the lost souls and their families. I feel that garnet herself stands as a rather strong and influential LGBT presence; she celebrates being with the one she loves every second of the day-- and becomes such an incredibly powerful being from that love. Let's keep on loving each other, and never give up! 💕💕

Rehearsal did a really good job at keeping me distracted yesterday And these lovely women came into work today And talked with me about Pride I almost started crying from their kindness But I'm still scared to go to work the rest of this week Scared of a minute possibility of something bad happening Scared that I'll not have good enough distractions That I'll start to lose myself in my head Thinking And worrying Like My girlfriend works at a blood donation center What if someone wanted to attack there To make sure that no one felt safe going to donate To the victims of Orlando I'm so scared I've never been this scared
