i wasn't originally going to talk about this but with a new detail added i kind of feel obligated too
so first off, the orlando shooting was just plain awful, it being the largest mass shooting in america and it being 2016 is disgusting
the fact it was in a lgbtq+ bar (or gay bar, it was never specified for me) makes me ill
its so close to the one year celebration of same-sex marriage being legal nation wide in america and the shooting just makes me feel like they've been set back a few years
take it as you will but this was a hate crime
probably one of the worst hate crimes i've ever heard of
something like this happening just makes lgbtq+ people feel scared to leave the house, maybe thats being dramatic but still
if lgbtq+ people can't even feel safe going for a night out just for fun to enjoy themselves then i honestly have no words
and the fact that so many people died and they were all so young
it just really fucking sucks
smh @ you america
