I ask every one of you to think of a person you lost because of anti-LGBT hate," said Ken Kidd, one of the original organizers of ACT UP, one of the first organizations to push for LGBT rights. "I want every one of you to remember a time you felt unsafe. I want every one of you to think about how to make things better."]]> 2018-04-17 16:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/polla1994/96gpaobgx9g1/wish/252650228 polla1994 https://padlet.com/polla1994/96gpaobgx9g1/wish/252651443 Democrats in Florida say just about every attempt to pass gun control legislation in the wake of the massacre has been blocked.

She could face federal charges if she knew the attack was going to occur but failed to alert authorities.

"I felt forced back into the closet," Nieves said. "I came out in sixth grade, and I felt so assured of myself. And then on the train today I thought maybe I should feel scared again."

The US war on Isis in Iraq and Syria motivated Mateen to be “out here right now”, he says on a different call.

Yet during Mateen’s 911 calls, which unfolded in three phases from 2.35am to 4.29am, the killer also releases false information, including an empty threat of possessing explosive vests and a promise of vehicles rigged to detonate.

“In the next few days, you’re going to see more of this type of action going on,” Mateen says, something the FBI said as early as the day of the shooting was not a risk stemming from the nightclub assault.
