“GLAAD stands with the young activists around the country who are taking the streets to demand that their lives and safety be our nation’s top priority and that we end this epidemic of mass school shootings,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD said in an emailed statement.
“The LGBTQ community knows the impact, importance, and heartbreak of this issue all too well. The Pulse tragedy led our movement to say “enough is enough,” and we must continue to stand up and lock arms with gun reform advocates to end this senseless violence.”

I wasn’t even 2 days old when Columbine happened. My generation doesn’t know a life without school shootings, and too many students won’t ever get the chance to know anything different #marchforourlives #neveragain pic.twitter.com/KufhXd3TaG
