The Orlando Massacre



My heart breaks for the family and friends of all the victims. The only way to prevent another tragedy like this is with love and compassion, not fear, anger, and hate. Compassion even for the perpetrator. We cannot give into the rantings of bigots and captains of industry (ie. NRA & Trump) who use tragedies like this to promote their political agendas. If we don't stand up as one human community united, then our community will be hopelessly divided. I hope we learn from history that ostracizing and punishing groups of people based on race and religion only plays into the hands of terrorist groups who seek to destroy us all. Terrorists know that the more individuals feel isolated and disenfranchised from society, the more susceptible they are to being manipulated into committing heinous acts of violence. I pray that we will all heal and learn from this. Because if we don't learn to stand up against bigotry and so-called gun rights in America, then these atrocities will keep happening. I love you all, my brothers and sisters!

PEACE and LOVE
