The community has been a target for hate for decades, but has seen meaningful advances in the past few years,” he added. “This tragedy will not suppress the love and compassion that the LGBT community is centered on.

This is the most lethal terrorist attack in America since 9-11 and we must redouble our efforts to fight terrorism in all forms.”
