Memorial and march over the shootings of LGBT folks at an Orlando nightclub.

On June 18, an event called Amor y Solidaridad/Love and Solidarity was held in San Francisco in honor of the victims killed in the Orlando night club shooting. The event was hosted by Cleve Jones and attracted approximately 300 people from the community. A rally was held at Harvey Milk Plaza in San Francisco and then the nearly 300 people marched into the Mission district and onwards to City Hall.

The shooting in Orlando has effected the communities beyond especially in San Francisco.

There has been a lot posted online about the shooter Omar Mateen, but what is sticking out the most is the fact that the shooter had often visited the club himself before he opened fire on the patrons of that club. The club is called Pulse and was a local LGBT enclave. Whether the shooter was mentally ill, or a closeted gay is moot compared to the fact he felt like killing the very same people he hung out with. Many in the community wonder? What if he did not have access to an assault type weapon? What if the FBI, who interviewed Mateen twice, placed him on a list that could have prevented him from buying any weapons?

Those are the questions I've been hearing from the local community about that mass murderer.
