Free Gift: Candle of Unity



We'll never get used to making tribute items like this. We will always spread love, and not hate.

Note: This is not the area to discuss gun laws. We ask you to use the comments here to remember the victims of this most recent tragedy, and all tragedies of this kind, and to share hope.

I woke up to the news about this and the added news that LA was saved a similar situation by vigilant neighbors. I don't understand how anyone can hold this level of hatred in their hearts. Thank you for a beautiful tribute to the people who had their lives cut short today.

I have no words, the LGBT community is more than just a community, is a one big family, a family that anywhere you go you feel welcomed and at home. We lost 50 members of our family today. may they rest in peace.

Its a very sad day here in Florida. Many people are effected by this senseless tragedy. Hate is so ugly. Life is so precious. Never take a day or a loved one for granted.

As a transgender and gay male, it makes me really happy to see that subeta is making tribute item to those who were lost and showing that they care... ?

This recent tragedy in Orlando absolutely breaks my heart. My best wishes go out to everyone who was affected. This is such a sad, horrible, terrible loss of life. I think I'm going to cry; this is so upsetting and wrong. I love all of you, and hope the best for each and every one of those families. To the victims - keep on dancing the night away, whereever you may be right now, and know you will be forever remembered in all of our hearts. You're not alone.

I'm so shaken up. I'm entirely on the different side of the country, but I think this is hitting everyone right now, and especially the LGBT community. I can only pray the death count doesn't get much higher from the wounded.

theres just no words. i want to say so many things, but nothing comes out. all of this hate, fear and sadness just makes me feel completely empty inside and out. i'll never understand how people can do such awful things.. my heart, love, prayers, healing vibes--literally everything i can give--goes out to all of those affected by this senseless tragedy. the innocent victims, the people who had to walk in and see so much bloodshed, the doctors trying their best to save those already injured.. rest in love, and find the peace they absolutely deserve<3

Thank you for this.. As someone who used to frequent Pulse and only just recently moved from Orlando (Where I lived for more than 15 years), I'm still waiting with a sick stomach to hear if I'm going to have to fly back to a funeral. Rest well, everyone, we need to keep fighting for better days than this. :c

Thank you for this. Even if it's a small act, it feels important to express my solidarity with the victims of this horrendous crime and send my love to all those affected by the shockwaves of this tragedy. As a gay man, I've felt vulnerable and numb all day. It's just so destroying to see our safe space be torn apart. Sending my thoughts to all. <3

This is what I was thinking.. and they've said time and time again that tribute items depend on the artists who want to make them. And honestly not the place to bring in politics, not on this post. I think they said that too at the end of this post. Ali meant something to a lot of people and just because this tribute item exists today, doesn't take that away.

This isn’t the place to discuss tributes for other people that have passed away recently. We’re focused specifically on this one horrible tragedy.

It probably has nothing to do with Muhammed himself, just a thought that hasn't come around. They don't usually make tribute items unless the person was directly involved in the young twenties' pop culture scene, which Muhammed Ali wasn't really, as great a man as he was. There have been plenty of people I've hoped for a tribute for too but haven't seen one for because they didn't play a popular Harry Potter character or something similar. Which I totally get, that's just probably why one hasn't surfaced.

This news was devastating to me this morning. I don't understand how some people can be so filled with hate.

I expected one as well actually. Free gift tributes can be tricky.

either way, it's always tragic when someone loses their life, and it's terrible that so many people lost their life in such a way. There's too much violence in the world.
