How People Are Remembering Pulse, Two Years Later
Celebs, allies, and the queer community took to Twitter to commemorate the two year anniversary of the tragic Pulse shooting in Orlando.
It's been two years since a gunman took the lives of 49 people during a shooting at Orlando's gay nightclub Pulse.
