As news of the shooting at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub spread Sunday, the world has reacted with support for Orlando and the LGBT community at large.
Landmarks around the world lit up in rainbow colors in support of the LGBT community. (Note: One World Trade Center image below is from 2015, but is similar to what it looked last last night.)

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support the victims and their families. As of 8:30 p.m. ET, the campaign has raised over $870,000 with every penny raised going to “support these victims,” according to Ida Eskamani, a staffer at Equality Florida, which launched the campaign.
