7 years ago, on this very day, there was a shooting that happened at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Let's just say that an "individual" (and I don't mean that with any respect whatsoever) fired 110 rounds into the club, and 49 people never made it home.
I don't usually draw things like this, but I spent most of my life in a state that recently went purple as LGBT+ rights are slowly being outlawed in half of the US, and I had no choice but to move out of the country after being doxxed years ago for an unrelated reason, these laws give me less of a reason to go back at this time, and it was my home for most of my life. I may not be part of the LGBT community myself, despite being pan and enby, but I've been supportive of the community my whole life, even though I was raised in a household that told me that being myself was "a crime against nature" by some of my family members, so I feel like I especially have to acknowledge such a tragic event.
I wish this world was nothing but sunshine and rainbows like we were taught as kids, but that kind of utopia is but a butterfly's dream.
Character shown above is named Bleddyn, he's from a story in the works called Vindicator which has a few LGBT characters in it, but it's somewhat subtle since the story is primarily adventure focused.
