Today, on the one-year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre, people around the world took to social media to post in remembrance of the 49 LGBT lives lost that night. While no one person's memorial is more significant that than the rest, those with a well-followed platform have a greater opportunity to spread unity and love, love that could heal a community, if only a little. Here, on the newly-minted Orlando United Day, we round up messages from celebrities of every sphere that prove violence never wins.
My heart is with the loved ones of the 49 people killed at Pulse, the city of Orlando, & the LGBT community. #WeWillNotLetHateWin pic.twitter.com/K8BkUW2GVt
