I am shocked and saddened to learn about the mass shooting at Pulse night club in Orlando, Fla.
As a gay man myself, I am especially disturbed by this horrific act of violence against my LGBT brothers and sisters.
I condemn this barbaric shooting. Don't let anyone tell you that this twisted individual truly represents any faith community. At times like these, it's more important to hold our loved ones close, have compassion, and show the world that we stand together against hate, not divided against each other.
My deepest condolences to the families of those killed. It's long past due for us as a nation to look inward and get serious about addressing the causes of mass violence in this country.
