This is a real tear-jerker, but also vital viewing.
The Human Rights Campaign has released a video featuring 49 celebrities honoring the 49 victims of the the Pulse shooting, with a blurb about each life that was taken too soon.
And really, who cares about the celebrities? It could have just been random people reading the names and descriptions, and the effect would be the same.
But if the inclusion of people like Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Sarah Paulson, Lea Michele, Sofia Vergara, Kevin McHale, Darren Criss, Jane Fonda and others gets more people to watch the 18-minute video, the big names have paid off.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
It’s a humbling reminder of how much we share in common with the victims. So take a moment, grab a tissue, and find out who they were. Then perhaps reach out to someone you love and let them know how you feel — just a suggestion.
Watch the Ryan Murphy-directed clip below:

Oh, please, spare me these rich celebrities. What has Janw Fonda ever done for tbe cause of male homosexual desire?
Jane is pathetic as are most of these celebrities. Ryan Murphy is insufferable.

Disgusting to include homophobe Bruce Jenner in this.

Introducing Ryan Murphy and the Hollywood Cowards!
Nothing says Democratic Left like a Hollywood PSA video that honors the Orlando victims – by blaming Republicans.
The left wants the massacre at a gay Orlando nightclub to be about two things: conservative election “rhetoric” that they claim is ratcheting up anti-LGBT “hate”, and “easy accessibility” of guns in America. There is absolutely zero acknowledgement that Islam had anything to do with this attack in Murphy’s video, despite the fact that terrorist Omar Mateen, a registered Democrat, declared allegiance to ISIS on a 911 call even as the attack unfolded.
Ryan Murphy and these Hollywood cowards make us less safe, and more vulnerable, to the next terror attack.
