This year, I decided to dedicate my NOH8 Campaign picture to the 49 Angels whose lives were taken on June 12, 2016 at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, as well as to the survivors and all who carry on their memories in so many ways.

This evening, this event, could have been any one of us. We don't have to walk around being scared, however, we do have to be vigilant in our daily lives.

We have come a long way, but there are still many roads to be paved towards a world of NOH8.

After all, WE ARE ALL ORLANDO."
