 At an evening interfaith vigil at the Capitol that included Muslim leaders, a Christian pastor and other religious figures, Austin Mayor Steve Adler told more than 300 gathered that there is strength in diversity. Awad says members of the LGBT community have stood with Muslims in the past and today they stand that community.

 NEW YORK (AP) — The gay, lesbian and transgender community has seen violence before, from Harvey Milk to Matthew Shepard, and an ever-lengthening list of transgender women. Shame on us if we let this moment pass without pushing with all our might for the state to treat us all as equals under the law and to end easy access to weapons of mass slaughter.We are so very grateful to have found the resources to help these people and their families get services, make up for lost wages, heal wounds and begin to put their lives back together.Will you stand with us again and fulfill the promise of real change as the lasting memorial #ForThe49?Inspired by our work in the aftermath of Pulse, an anonymous donor will match the first $100,000 raised for this campaign.
– Across the United States, people gathered Sunday night at vigils honoring the victims of a shooting attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., that left 50 people dead and 53 wounded. In Miami Beach, mourners lit candles, embraced, and waved rainbow flags, the AP reports. Members of LGBT groups and their supporters met in the Boystown neighborhood of Chicago. Among them was Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who said the city has stepped up security in gay communities. Also there in solidarity were mothers who have lost their children to gun violence. Hundreds of people in Austin, Texas, attended an evening vigil at the Capitol that included Muslim leaders and a Christian pastor, the Austin American-Statesman reports. Investigators are still trying to determine the motives of gunman Omar Mateen, but LGBT activists had no doubt that their community was the intended target. "Our practices and institutions may change in light of this tragedy—LGBT gathering places may have more security now," Rev. Alisan Rowland, pastor of the LGBT-welcoming Metropolitan Community Church of New Orleans, tells the AP. "But we will never, ever go away. We will never be cowed." WHNT reports that a GoFundMe page has been set up to help victims and families affected by the mass shooting. In 20 hours, it raised more than $1.3 million.
