It's been two years since a gunman took the lives of 49 people during a shooting at Orlando's gay nightclub Pulse.
Celebrities, allies, notables, and members of the LGBT community took to Twitter to commemorate the victims of the tragedy and remind people that there is still a lot that needs to be change before queer people are truly accepted by society.

\u201cIt\u2019s the two year anniversary of #Pulse. Remember not only how much we lost and hurt that day, but also how quickly we were told as LGBTQ not to politicize the murder of queer people by people who politicize where we piss and VOTE accordingly\u201d— Phillip (@Phillip) 1528814041

\u201cJUNE 12, 2016\n\nOrlando, Florida, USA\n\n2 years have passed and in my heart your faces and spirits are as alive to me as they were before you were taken. \n\nToday, we say your names.

\u201cTwo years ago, a man fired 45 rounds a minute into the crowded club while I washed my hands in the sink. 13 of those rounds killed my best friends.\n\nToday, the pain is the same. Someone please fix this.\n\nI miss you. \ud83d\udc94 \n\n#Pulse\u201d— Brandon Wolf (@Brandon Wolf) 1528807208
\u201cTwo years ago, these 49 lives were taken too soon. We will never forget Pulse. Our thoughts are with you Orlando. \u2764\ufe0f #Pulse #OrlandoUnited #OrlandoStrong\u201d— BeBe Zahara Benet (@BeBe Zahara Benet) 1528808305
\u201cI remember posting this a couple years ago. I think I feel this stronger now than the day I posted it. #Pulse\u201d— Ryan Khosravi \u2728 (@Ryan Khosravi \u2728) 1528814353
