Paul Wells National Affairs Sun.: The organizers were mostly groups working for gay rights — Equality Florida, Human Rights Campaign, the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida, Come Out With Pride and a half-dozen others, according to Toronto Star. The venue was a big park in front of the city new performing arts centre. By Paul Wells National Affairs Sun., June 19, 2016 ORLANDO, FLA.—On Monday in Orlando, as the sun set on a day that was unseasonably hot even for June in Florida, I attended a vigil for victims of the massacre at Pulse nightclub. The crowd was huge and diverse: more than 10,000 people came to light candles and hear messages of comfort, mourning and defiance. At one point somebody on the stage called for a group hug. Buddy Dyer, the city popular mayor, was on a long list of speakers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
