Members of Gays Against Guns gathered at the Christopher Street Pier on June 14 for a sunset remembrance vigil marking eight years since 49 people were killed and 53 wounded in a mass shooting at Pulse, an LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando.
Human Beings — individuals covered in white and representing those who died at Pulse — held a silent procession traveling from the Christopher Street Pier to the LGBTQ+ Memorial at Hudson River Park, where they paid tribute to those who died at Pulse in 2016.
The attack at Pulse sparked the emergence of the group Gays Against Guns, which fights what the organization describes as the “twin scourges of bigotry and gun violence.”
