Orlando in Orange County, Florida — The American South (South Atlantic)
Welcome to the Pulse Interim Memorial
On June 12, 2016, 49 angels sought the joy, love and acceptance of Pulse Nightclub. Instead, they found hatred. And they never came home. They were gay. They were straight. Latin, black, white. Mothers, Brothers. Sisters. Daughters. Sons. Lost forever.
This tragedy united our community with people across the United States and the world, all of whom were determined to not let hate win. By leaving your message of hope, you become part of our mission.
While the planning and design of a permanent memorial at this site are underway, we invite you to walk this space as you remember and reflect.
