    Reminder Orlo Shooting - what can u do..

    So..
    I know we have a thread in lounge about guns, I haven't been on it, but it seems like it's kinda going not in a good place?
    Also, there's another Orlo thread in this sec..
    But, I would like to post here about some stuff that's suggested to do to help (besides donations, which're good)
    Starting w/this article https://mic.com/articles/146165/i-m-...-it#.1w8i3aC8n
    Please, if I've posted in the wrong section, or whatever similar wrong I'm sorry..
    Also, I'm not trying to start/participate in another dispute.
    Thanks!

    There's a gofundme set up for the survivors as well as a fund set up by our mayor. And I saw the clip about therapy dogs, I loved that! I think too it is just so important to keep having conversation about it. It's become clear that everyone has been affected. I hate to know that there are lgbt and Muslim people that our afraid for their lives. The mosque down the road from my house had to have police protection when they held a prayer meeting for everyone and I know we all know people that have been deeply affected even though they are not here. So when people spout off with stupid bullshit we need to call them out on it. It needs to become unacceptable and the only way that will happen is if we say something and make it personal. That is the best thing we can do as individuals.

    Here's the fund setup by the mayor. The donations are supposed to go directly to the victims rather than through an agency.

    I went to a rehearsal last night for a gay pride flag raising ceremony. It was a learning experience for two reasons; one, I got to talk to a FTM trans person for the first time. Two, they were genuinely scared. They arranged for a police presence, and two of the younger people dropped out because they thought we might be attacked. It doesn't hit home until you see their faces. It is really disconcerting to see teachers and lawyers and students afraid in their own country to raise a flag. I live in Manhattan so like 30% of my friends are gay, but I had never seen that serious fear.

    Agreed, this is exactly the sort of thing that needs to happen.
