I'm also horrified at what happened in my hometown. I grew up in Orlando and trust me when I say that Orlando is an inclusive town. This guy does not in any way represent the people of Orlando. He was sick and twisted. The true spirit of Orlando are the people you saw waiting for hours to donate blood, the people from churches that blocked the haters from disrupting the funerals, the florist who donated funeral flowers to the families of the victims. It has been a very sad sad week for everyone who has and does call Orlando home.

May these precious souls Rest In Peace. The horrendous actions of one man has broken hearts of so many around the globe.<br />The following are the final words of Jack Layton (deceased August 2011) "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world."Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053469261622557578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-18907972259386441812016-06-14T07:58:15.704-05:002016-06-14T07:58:15.704-05:00This just keeps getting sadder.

Add that to Islam, and the result is a nightmare.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-26770918531869108322016-06-13T20:29:36.927-05:002016-06-13T20:29:36.927-05:00I'm so sick of hatred.

One of the differences between such people who live in the US and those who live in Australia is that in the US, they have ready access to guns, and military-grade guns at that. Surely the general population in the US is close to demanding the introduction of tight controls on guns? Surely! It won't happen overnight, but that's not a reason to make a start.<br /><br />Megan<br />Sydney, AustraliaMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143400920174171516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-22971099967391540452016-06-13T17:35:21.609-05:002016-06-13T17:35:21.609-05:00In case anyone else is interested in the rainbow f...In case anyone else is interested in the rainbow flags/straight ally flags, or many other "rainbow" items, I found the flag at <br />rainbowdepot.com.

Having worked in medicine my entire life, I cannot feel that this happened because of his being bipolar. This happened because he was filled with hate and inspired by the wrong people. Even his father had hateful ideas concerning the gay community. What loss we have sustained. I just found a website where I found a "straight ally" flag and have ordered it already. It will go on my door as soon as it gets here. It is a black and white striped flag with a rainbow triangle superimposed. <br /><br />Having had a beloved gay uncle as well as a beloved gay brother-in-law, I have always supported the gay community. This just breaks. Y heart. Sending love, hugs and support to you and yours........<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926160625275737447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-74617903558449484132016-06-13T14:43:36.407-05:002016-06-13T14:43:36.407-05:00Love you, Lane!Love you, Lane!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082295990536140884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-41026301223940916312016-06-13T13:54:04.265-05:002016-06-13T13:54:04.265-05:00"I will not be afraid.

I was so proud of the people who came out to donate blood and help the wounded. I am proud of the people who stood up and made marriage equality happen. I am proud of all the gay men who took in and raised AIDS babies back in the 80s. Humans do much more good that this idiot will ever understand. He only understood shooting people.

One strong theme in these horrific killings is that nearly everyone around the person knew that they were mentally ill and needed treatment and they couldn't get it for them. It's time to fix that.
