Say the words! Speak our names!

He can't even bring himself to say that they were gay. IT MATTERS. It matters that he says in his letter "their families" when the church has consistently said we don't deserve to create our own families, that they won't be recognized, and that they are an affront to god. The Pope's statement was equally lacking in mentioning that it was ‪#‎LGBTQ‬ or ‪#‎Latinx‬ people that were killed and injured.
SAY IT! Acknowledge us!! IT MATTERS!!!! WHY WON"T PEOPLE SAY IT!!
"As our society faces the massive and violent assault on human life in Orlando on Sunday, the Archdiocese of Boston offers and encourages prayers on behalf of those who were killed in the attack, those who were injured, and all their families and friends."
- Cardinal O'Malley
