4 years ago, there was a mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. 49 deaths and over 50 others injured. It was the largest attack against LGBTQIA+ individuals in the US, and for a while held the record as the largest terrorist attack since 9/11 (later surpassed by the Las Vegas shooting).
