Vigil in response to the Orlando Shooting

 

On June 11th the Queer community around the world was devastated to learn about the mass shooting of mostly black and brown queer people at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando.  In response as Queer Commissioner I organized a vigil for the community to be able to come together. Below are some links to different media coverage of the event.
