The Biggest Anti-LGBT Crime in American History [View all]

That's what this is.

This is the LGBT community's 9/11.

I woke up late this morning on the West Coast and groggily couldn't figure out why my phone had apparently melted over night.

Devastation.

And the mad scramble to contact all my Florida friends to make sure they were safe. They were. But too many of them knew the dead and the injured.

The LGBT community is both vast and small. We are everywhere and we all know each other in some way.

This is wrecking us.
