We are all HUMAN BEINGS whether we are LGBT or STRAIGHT!!! 

Tony Marrero was one of the survivors of the MASS SHOOTING AT PULSE NIGHT CLUB in Orlando, Florida. It was the worst mass shooting in American History. 

HATE caused this horrible shooting to occur and it is time that AMERICA RISE UP against the HATE that fills so many people's hearts. 

We are all AMERICAN's and deserve to feel safe in our OWN SAFE PLACES to express who we are!!!

All these wonderful lives were cut short by the HATE one man had towards a people he did not understand or want to understand.

May God continue to bless and comfort the families of all the victims of PULSE NIGHTCLUB...

Lyrics to Katy Perry's - RISE

I won’t just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can’t write my story
I’m beyond the archetype

I won’t just conform
No matter how you shake my core
‘Cause my roots they run deep, oh

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I’ll fight it, I’ll fight it
I will transform

When, when the fire’s at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They’re whispering, "You’re out of time”
But still I rise

This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don’t be surprised
I will still rise

I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed

‘Cause when, when the fire’s at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They’re whispering, "You’re out of time”
But still I rise

This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don’t be surprised
I will still rise

Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You know it, you know it
Still rise
Just fight it, just fight it
Don’t be surprised
I will still rise
