Vigil for Orlando

I live in a small, predominately white, conservative Christian town.
Yesterday I heard on the radio that there was going to be a vigil at our Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay for the victims of the Orlando shooting. I had my camera gear with me, and arrived about 30 minutes before it started.
I was, and still am, honestly shocked at the number of people that showed up. There were straight couples, gay couples, and transgender people. People of all different ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds…and everyone was getting along wonderfully, showing the mutual love and respect that we should be showing each other every day. It was a truly beautiful sight.
My community has been filled with so much love and acceptance – I could not possibly be prouder of the people that live here.
I hope that one day, this will be normal. I hope that one day, everyone can get along & be respectful. I hope that one day, it won’t be anything out of the ordinary to be accepting of those that are different from you.
