On
June 12, 2016, the most horrendous mass shooting in US history and an
unfathomable act of hate was directed at the LGBT community in
Orlando. The horror of this tragedy reverberated around the world,
leaving millions shocked and appalled at the senseless violence that
destroyed so many innocent lives.
In a display of solidarity with the victims and survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting, a group of LGBTQ+ and straight allies, from all across the globe, came together to produce a collection of poems in celebration of love and acceptance.
The
resulting Love is Love Poetry Anthology is dedicated to the families
and victims of the shooting and all proceeds of this work will be
donated to Equality
Florida’s Pulse Victims Fund. In
this small way, the authors, along with the readers who purchase this
work, seek to contribute to the lives of those who still suffer from
the consequences of the malice directed toward them, and offer some
positivity and compassion in the face of such bigotry.
