Re: Orlando news, for the record

[balsamandash]

I didn't say anything before because I usually don't when things happen, but I feel like I need to make the disclaimer.

Look, I am a queer person two hours away from Orlando. I am pretty open about my queerness, I just moved in with my partner, I have been to Pride events in Tampa/St Pete area a few times, I've been to Orlando regularly, and while I've never really considered doing nightclubs, I've considered doing other LGBT events around there.

Orlando has me kind of fucked up right now, and I'm not really going to be talking about it in public, replying if other people bring it up, or really interacting with the news in any way.

I promise lack of visible reaction is not lack of caring, but I just can't handle it.

-offers hugs- You're under no obligation to say anything and, if someone tells you otherwise, tell them to fuck themselves.

*many, many hugs* Thankfully, no one did, but it's good to be reminded that it's true.
