Ever since Australia awoke to the tragic news yesterday morning from the United States – the news that 49 innocent people and the gunman who murdered them had been killed in the worst mass shooting in US history – celebrities have taken to social media to express their grief and frustration over the horrific scenes.
Many have posted photos of hope, love and defiance along with rainbow colours as a show of unity with the LGBTQI community who were seemingly the target of the attack. An attack which saw 29-year-old, Omar Mateen, enter well-known Florida gay club Pulse and begin shooting.

ok Mamamia, enough already. these lives matter but so do the tragedies that happen around the world, landslides, earthquakes etc. please lets not have saturation about American lives. We are all feeling for these people, we just don't need every article, news feed etc to be about this. For the record NBC is reporting this offender hated women, blacks, gays etc. he really was a piece of sh.t that doesn't need any more attention.
No, he doesn't need any attention. But those lost do. So do their families and friends a peers and fellow LGBTQI people. So does "gun control" in America. So does the issue of children being brought up to believe that some people are worth less than others. This needs attention. So okay, enough already, stop trying to sweep ingrained homophobia and transphobia under the carpet.
