So proud of everyone showed up yesterday. For me as an LGBT teenager I haven't felt so scared to be me in a while and it's so important we all stand together and let them know we won't be broken. We appreciate the support so much you've no idea and thank you to everyone who came to this vigil and the vigils and every country and who have supported LGBT people in any way. You are making it safer for us little by little but there is still a lot to be done. Rest in peace to all beautiful souls who were cruelly taken away we love you and we will continue to fight with love
