Free Gift: Candle of Unity
We'll never get used to making tribute items like this. We will always spread love, and not hate.
Note: This is not the area to discuss gun laws. We ask you to use the comments here to remember the victims of this most recent tragedy, and all tragedies of this kind, and to share hope.

dont forget about palestine :(
;n; Thank you for this. It's hard to hold onto grief and remembrance above being angry, even when the former is all I want to do. I have friends who worked with at least one of the young men at Disney, so this hit very close to home for them and it was difficult to watch. I hope that the world moves towards love. And I hope that all those lives lost will rest in peace.
Still can't seem to find any words, but want to add my thoughts and prayers for all those affected. May the memories of those who lost their lives be a blessing. May the living heal and recover. I will continue to pray for a world in which there will never again be any need for a tribute item like this.
Keep this candle burning bright for everyone who has been affected by this senseless tragedy. May it offer some measure of peace and light throughout the dark days that the victims and their families are going through.
Im just feel sorry for this tragedy.
I send all my love and my strong for afroid this tragedy.
This kinda of things never have to happend.
All we are humans, not gods.
I just hope this kind of tragedy can stop happening.

We have all lost a great many people from this tragedy. Lights in the world blown out with hatred. The nation grieves with those families out there who have lost sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, lovers. We should never be afraid to be who we are.
@SteampunkShadowLord - Yeah... along with the other victims, despite me not knowing any of them personally. ;^;
As a Floridian in the LGBTQIA community, this is a really scary time for me and for many of my friends. Thank you for this.
I am sending all my love, thoughts and prayers to all the families involved in this tragic and horrific ordeal.
The Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A., at the Magic Kingdom lost a cast member in yesterday's shooting, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade lost a Gryffindor team member.
The art on this is just lovely. I saw it yesterday but was a little too emotionally hurt to say anything. I just can never understand why people will go out of their way to do this to each other. The entire act was senseless.
Love and support from your brothers and sisters in Hong Kong, our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, the families affected and the community whose heart is broken. We held a vigil in the city tonight to remember those who lived, love and lost their lives needlessly. Please stay strong Orlando, we stand in solidarity.
Thank you for this. My deepest sympathies go out to all of the families and loved ones that were impacted by this tragic event.
The description made me cry. Thank you so very much for this tribute.
I'm at a loss for words at what happened and from Europe I offer my sincerest condolences and thoughts to all the victims and to the people that were left behind.
This just leaves me speechless. Especially since my baby sister just came out to me and I promised to take her dancing in an lgbt club, since she doesn't dare to go by herself.

I wish people didn't have to die like this. I wish fear and hate would stop being used to control and attack people. I wish comfort would find it's way to the grieving.
A heartbreaking tragedy. Keeping the victims and their friends and families in my thoughts. :heart:
@Cherri - They just announced that one of the victims who died had worked at Disney and at Universal's City Walk. Not sure if he was a cast member or an operating participant employee, or even whether he was currently working at Disney. He wasn't anyone I knew personally, but his loss is still felt.
I'm at a loss for words, I'm just sad. I appreciate this beautiful tribute :heart:
Sending thoughts and prayers from Europe and I hope that the world will be united in love and respect one day.

If I did happen to offend anyone, I do apologize. I was just confused as to why it was rainbow, but now I understand. I wasn't aware that it represented all walks of life, ect, or it was even pride month.
I also wasn't aware the shooter was a homophone, I found that out like a half an hour after posting my comment, which makes me feel like a total fool.
Anyways, like I said, I do apologize. This is a horrific event, and I probably shouldn't have started something.

Wonderfull tribute item. I only wish this wasn't nessasary to create. -sad sigh- Why can't people just simply live and let live?
@Amanda - Oh wow... that is scary. I'm glad you're safe.
My sister was also thinking of going on Saturday but didn't. She has gone there quite a few times in the past. While I don't like her, it still would have broken me if she would have been one of the victims.
@SteampunkShadowLord - It is really surreal... I had to pass by there yesterday and use the detours. I felt nauseous and dizzy. I'm going to have to do the same thing today.
I've heard my friends and acquaintances call downtown Orlando a very LGBT friendly community. After the grieving process, I don't know what's next...

Thank you for making this beautiful tribute item <3 My heart goes to all affected by this tragedy :'(
My first feelings were of disbelief, and then anger. It's just so utterly senseless. However, rage just fuels the hatred; surely it's just better to focus on love instead.
I hope everyone's loved ones are accounted for, and for the injured I wish for a speedy recovery. May the deceased rest in peace, and their loved ones find the same.
Also, thank you Subeta for the lovely tribute item.
Everyone, please be safe, and take care.

This is a wonderful tribute. Thank you, and my thoughts are with the victims and their families.
</3 So heartbreaking </3 This world is such a bad dream every day. When will we wake up? v_v
i don't understand why whenever tragedy targets a socially marginalized group there's always at least one person who has to claim that "it had nothing to do with that!"
it's so insensitive in a way i can't even coherently describe, there aren't any words for how it rattles you when you belong to a community that is victim to a hate crime as massive as this
anyways thank you for this tribute, and thank you to 99% of the rest of the comments here for being respectful and not trying to derail what happened

Bloody hell, cis straight people are even jealous when we get murdered now?
I'm pretty much 100% sure that any non-queer allies there would be honoured to be included in this memorial.

Also guys dont forget, blood isnt only needed in times of tragedy. So much is actually donated a lot goes to waste. Donate a few times a year even when nothing bad has happened to help prep for the bad! Its sad a lot of my friends irl only think to donate at times like these when blood is ALWAYS needed. Most of the year banks are way short on it, especially more rare blood types.
Of course do it now to help its a great cause, but remember it always helps no matter what time of year!

Sending so much love from the UK. I'm proud of all of my friends in the LGBT+ community, and I hope you dance harder and love more than ever before. One day the world will wake up and realise that hate is NOT an option.
I logged on, saw the tribute and went to check the news.
Being in a differnet time zone, I had no idea what had happened, but after I saw the news - I am sad.
Sending thoughts and prayers to those who lost a loved one.
Thank you for the wonderful description!

hugs all This should have never happened. R.I.P all the victims who just went out for a night of fun ;-;
Oh crapola, I realized I accidentally put a question mark in my comment earlier... That wasn't supposed to be there.
Oh god of course there are people here whining that it's not just about gay people guys!!!!
The intent was to kill gay people. The intent was to cleanse the earth of the evilness of gay people.
And thank you, Subeta, for acknowledging that homophobia is utterly stupid. We shouldn't divide ourselves up for no freaking reason, but we do. And it leads to things like this. Why don't we learn?
