SF Castro remembers Orlando nightclub shooting victims on one year anniversary
Dozens
of people gathered in San Francisco’s Castro District Monday, June 12,
2017 to remember the 49 lives that were lost one year from the date in
the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. The shooting shook the
Orlando community as well as the LGBTQ community around the country,
occurring on Latin night during Pride month. Cities around the world
have shown support and solidarity for those affected and have started
the #HonorThemWithAction campaign, urging people to take action to
uproot the hatred that feeds bullying, harassment, discrimination, and
violence. Photos by Sarahbeth Maney/Special to S.F. Examiner.
