What infuriates me about the Orlando shooting is the media’s blatant removal of the word “gay” from their headlines on this tragedy. It was a GAY NIGHTCLUB. Don’t you fucking dare forget that. Don’t erase the identities of victims of the worst mass shooting in American history because you don’t think it’s pertinent to your story. This was a hate crime directed solely at the LGBTQIA community for daring to exist in the year 2016.

the erasure of black and colored identities is also kind of upsetting as well. I read that Pulse is a predominately QPOC occupied club, and the shooting occurred on Latin night. I hope that the identities of those lost isn’t white washed across the collective consciousness of everyone following media reports….

The shooting took place on Latin Night headlined by trans POC and trans Black performers in a gay club largely frequented by QPOC. 

The shooter’s father confirmed he was a homophobe. Don’t let them lie nor erase this.
