A club is a safe haven for a gay person. That is a place where a gay person can be who they are without ridicule or judgement. In Orlando that sacred place was violated. That safe place was no longer safe.
Tonight there was a vigil. I brought flowers to put on the memorial for the victims. I brought candles for my friends and I to carry. We went to the meeting place and there were thousands of people. It was empowering. Then we marched. People were honking their horns and giving us peace signs.
It was a moving night. One I wish we didn't have to experience.
Until tomorrow...
