kaojen 1,571 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 https://www.instagram.com/p/BGkDugfDcFpoNYoCiEdFzMcEqB2A0S6Yz2rKl80/ I am currently sitting in my apartment, listening to the helicopters buzzing overhead. I live 3 blocks from Pulse. I moved to Orlando for university right at the time I fell in love with Lady Gaga. Exploring my sexuality,making friends, growing up. It all happened here. Pulse was a safe place to me. I met and mingled with so many great friends. I found friends with a common interest and heart. Yearly, Pulse had a Gaga themed night where we could dress up and sing along to our queen. At that time I never imagined Gaga would speak the name of that place, let alone based on tragedy. Pulse helped me explore my new relationship with my wife. I was there at Gaga nights making lifelong friends. Last night Pulse family said they were coming back bigger and better and stronger in the future. For that I am so grate full. People need that place, like I did and so many others. I want to establish my ever grand gratitude for Gaga speaking of behalf of my community at the L.A. vigil. At the same moment, across the country, we as the city of Orlando were having our own vigil. I stood and sang with my chorus, the Orlando Gay Chorus, and cried in front of thousands of people. I heard 49 bells chime from the church behind me chime for far too long, as Gaga named the victims and spoke and wept with us from so far away. Thank you to Gaga, and thank you to everyone from this whole community. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
