Tonight my heart hurts as I continue to watch coverage of the horrific shooting that occurred in the early morning hours today in the Orlando nightclub, Pulse.  I have no words that can describe how saddened I am by this act of terror against my fellow Americans.  I am praying for all of the victims and their families, and I ask that we all come together and spread love and support to all communities–no matter the religion, sexual preference, color, or gender.  The only way that we can fight this form of terrorism–hatred in its purist form–is to show that LOVE CONQUERS ALL.  The LGBT community is preaching this very message, and I stand beside them in absolute solidarity.  My thoughts and prayers are with all those who were at Pulse nightclub last night and all those who are connected with a victim of this terrible crime.
