Orlando

The death toll is up to 50. This is now the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. Joe.My.God. has a series of posts this morning with updates. Ditto Towleroad. Ditto Box Turtle Bulletin.

There's no point in my making any comments right now.

However, a note on how times have changed: RawStory, which is really more mainstream in terms of gay issues, has extensive coverage of the shooting, and a few articles on some of the other "mainstream" reactions.
