REMEMBERING PULSE NIGHTCLUB - COMMUNITY COALITION AGAINST ONEPULSE

The only prominent post going around about the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016 is my own, and is unfortunately cursed to the fate of receiving reblogs of an inaccurate version. So, 8 years later, I'm doing the right thing and making a new post to properly honor the victims and their families.

Will it gain the traction it needs? Probably not. But I'm not as... distant, about today, as I have been over the years. Because let's face it... This hits close to home for me. I said this in my original posting, too:

As someone who lives relatively near Orlando, I remember this day so vividly and I still feel a lot of pain for the victims even five years later.

I remember biting back tears in my living room because I wasn't out of the closet, and couldn't let my family know just how much this hurt me. I remember breaking down that night while scrolling the headlines, watching as the number of fatalities kept climbing. I remember staring at the button on Facebook asking me if I was safe.

And to this day, even with those involved and responsible gone... I still do not feel safe as a queer man in this state or in this country.

More importantly, though, it's important to highlight the community impacted by it, and the way onePULSE and its founder (Barbara Poma), the city of Orlando, and the State of Florida have exploited and continue to exploit the deaths of these individuals.

Information from here on out will be taken from the Community Coalition Agaisnt a Pulse Museum's official website, which can be found at the following link: [ LINK ]

The Community Coalition Against a Pulse Museum (CCAPM) is a group of surviving victims, family members of victims, activists, and scholars who have banded together to fight against the onePULSE Foundation's privatized memorial and museum complex. Our position is that money raised in the name of the mass shooting should go to the continued care of survivors. A public memorial park that does not seek to capitalize on the mass shooting in any way is the only option for a just memorial.

In addition, we seek justice for mass shooting victims by exposing the history and scope of unpermitted renovations and code violations at Pulse, which impaired the escape and rescue of shooting victims. We believe that Pulse owners Rosario Poma and Barbara Poma should be held accountable for these violations, rather than continuing to profit from a tragedy that was exacerbated by their illegal business decisions. We also want to see the City of Orlando held accountable for their continued failure to enforce the law and bring the business into compliance.

So what are the prominent issues?

WE ARE AGAINST COMMODIFYING MASS MURDER

The onePULSE Foundation has placed a gift shop feet away from where 49 people were murdered on the site of the interim memorial. We firmly renounce putting any price tag on the murder of our loved ones. The proposed museum is also slated to have a gift shop and a price of admission.

WE ARE AGAINST TURNING A PUBLIC TRAGEDY INTO PRIVATE PROFITS

Pulse nightclub owner, Barbara Poma, refused to sell the property to the City of Orlando for a public memorial. Instead, she created the onePULSE Foundation and has taken an executive salary in her self-made position as CEO. Perks have also included national recognition, celebrity, political connections, and undeserved accolades as an LGBTQ+ ally.

WE ARE AGAINST TURNING A MASS SHOOTING INTO A TOURIST ATTRACTION

The onePULSE Foundation has received a $10 MILLION tourism development tax grant from Orange County for the building of a museum. The tax application shows how the proposed memorial/museum complex has been intended to increase tourism during the off-season. The corporate Board of Trustees also reflects the local tourism industry.

WE SUPPORT INVESTING IN THE CONTINUED CARE OF SURVIVORS

Money raised in the name of the mass shooting at Pulse is going to multi-million dollar buildings rather than the continued care of the people who were directly affected. Available services and organizations have not provided adequate care to survivors and the onePULSE Foundation has not stepped in to fill any gaps; focusing instead on cultural and "educational" programs, while ignoring the ongoing needs of survivors.

WE CALL OUT A CHANGING MISSION

For years, the onePULSE Foundation raised funds for community grants for victims' families and survivors. In 2019, "community grants" were removed from the organization's mission. According to the released 2018 990s, only $1k was spent on community grants. People have donated money to the organization thinking that they were helping survivors.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

onePULSE Foundation CEO Barbara Poma is currently being sued by survivors and victims' families as part of a security negligence lawsuit. This lawsuit also alleges the illegal transfer of the Pulse nightclub property which was transferred via quit claim deed in the months after the shooting to two other LLCs owned by Barbara and Rosario Poma. Funds raised by the non-profit are being invested in the Pulse property that the Poma's still own.

As of 2024, this case is still pending, with the latest service list being posted on the docket as of June 11. The case number is publicly available (2018-CA-006102-O) and is searchable via the Orange County Clerk of Courts Record Search.

WE AFFIRM A PUBLIC MEMORIAL PARK IS STILL POSSIBLE

Public memorial parks have been the overwhelming response to mass shootings around the country, including Aurora, Columbine, Las Vegas, and Newtown. Most have been built by volunteers, with no executive salaries. The OnePULSE Foundation's proposed museum attraction seeks to unnecessarily turn the shooting into a spectacle and requires merchandising the tragedy. Mass murder is not for sale!

WE CONTINUE TO EXPOSE UNPERMITTED RENOVATIONS AND CODE VIOLATIONS

Public records affirm that Pulse Nightclub was a death trap due to its unpermitted renovations and code violations. Documents show that these issues affected the both the escape and rescue of Pulse survivors on June 12, 2016. We continue to collect, document, and uncover these issues since the City of Orlando has still not released all relevant records to the public.

Survivors of the incident, as well as their families and those who have faced similar tragedy, have also signed an open letter [ LINK ] calling attention to these issues, provided documented evidence of the above claims [ LINK ], and have also been running a petition since 2019 to call attention to the matter:

Of course, it is important to note that the individuals mentioned (Barbara Poma, the Orlando City Council, etc.) are not the only ones involved in making this state an unsafe place for its queer community.

As noted in my original posting as well, the unsafe nature of this state runs through its government. The fight for our rights, our recognition, and our safety still continues. Here are some facts from the original post (dated June 12, 2021):

In June 2021, the Governor of Florida vetoed an "item-lined budget bill" - that legally provides mental health, counseling, and compensation directly towards victims of the June 2016 Pulse nightclub Orlando shooting.

While they cannot be enforced, sodomy laws still exist in Florida to this day. Every year, we are still criminalized by a technicality.

In many places, same-sex domestic partnerships are still not granted. It is only viable in approximately nine counties, thirty cities, and one town.

It took until 2016 for same-sex couples to be granted the same parental rights during in vitro fertilization and surrogacy as opposite-sex couples. Before then, the non-biological mother and father was not the child's legal parent nor guardian.

The state's "hate crime law" only accounts for sexual orientation, and does not protect victims who were attacked for their gender identity.

Anti-discrimination laws for sexual orientation and gender identity are not state-wide nor equally applicable within each county/town.

On June 1, 2021, Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis signed a bill to exclude transgender women from participating in sports designated for female students. This bill passed because of a last-minute legislative "procedural maneuver". The HRC is currently establishing a campaign to try and stop the law from going into effect (called "nullification") on midnight July 1.

Gay-panic and Trans-panic are still viable legal defenses, resulting in these abhorrent hate crimes to be decreased from murder to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Conversion therapy against minors is not banned state-wide, and is still legal within many areas of the state. In fact, in some areas, a ban on the practice is deemed "unenforceable".

And that is just the tip of the iceberg, because if you've been active in your advocacy for the community (or at the very least, following me for a decent period of time)... Then you know just how unsafe Florida has become. You know how, even under the Biden administration, people like Governor Ron DeSantis have gone unchallenged in their writing and enforcement of vile legislation. You know how this legislation has begun creeping its way up to the top, to the federal level, and remained unchallenged the whole way up.

Here are some more "fun facts" about just how much we must fight against in the wake of this tragedy:

States like Florida have eliminated 80% of all trans adult care (SB 254), adults can be thrown in jail for using the bathroom of their gender identity (SB 1674), and trans people with correct gender markers on their drivers licenses can be charged with fraud (Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles memo).

The State of Florida has had several travel advisories issued against it by local LGBTQ+ organizations (e.g., Equality Florida) and national organizations (e.g., Human Rights Campaign).

Likewise, many social media laws targeting "adult content and pornography" (HB 3) include sneaky, vague language that will very much target the existence of queer folk using the internet in this state.

More states within the United States are explicitly passing anti-trans legislation than not, and moreso now than ever [ source; dated June 4th ].

The time for relying on those above us is over. We MUST kill the plague of individualism and build community. If we don't support one another, nobody will. No amount of pinkwashing, placation, or sanitation will change that.

We are here. We are queer. We will never forget, and we cannot allow ourselves to.

Tw: mass shooting mention, homophobia mention, violence mention

On June 12, 2016, a man opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He killed 49 people and injured 53 more before he was killed by police. I will not include his name in this post, as his memory is not what I wish to honor. I wish to pay respects to the victims of that violent night, and I will be listing their names as a way for anyone who reads this post to remember them. None of them deserved the violence and inhumanity that they experienced.

I am writing this post as a way to honor the victims of that night, and because I wish to remember them. I want to remember that these people lived and breathed within my lifetime. I was 12 years old when the shooting happened, and I remember sitting on the couch and watching the news. I wanted to cry out of grief and fear. But all I could do was sit in silence because my family did not know I was queer and would not have understood if I tried to explain why I was grieving for those people that died. I knew from a very young age that there are people in this world that hate people like me. I knew that I would experience hate. And I knew that violence against people like me happened, but that day was the first day I was scared to be myself, and it was the first day I was scared for everyone like me.

I am older now, and I know that violence and hatred have not gone away, and I don't know if they ever will. I would be lying if I said I don't still feel afraid sometimes, but I know that I am stronger now as a person, and I know that the LGBTQIA+ community is stronger too.

I will list some links to LGBT+ charities and organizations below if anyone would like to donate to honor the memory of those we have lost.

Happy Pride everyone.

We Cannot Forget

Do not forget the people who lost their lives in Orlando, FL on June 12, 2016 at Pulse Nightclub.

A staggering *102 people were affected that night, and became victims, or survivors of one of the worst, deadliest terrorist attacks in the U.S. since the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Many were Hispanic.

Fifty people died four years ago that night. *But only 49 deserve to be remembered. The fiftieth was 29-year-old Omar Mateen, the man who was responsible for this tragedy. Targeting a gay bar was not intentional on Omar's part, supposedly, but regardless this was still an undeniable tragedy almost halfway through Pride Month.

Remember the names of his LGBT+ victims in this act of hate and terror that day.

04. TWENTY QUESTIONS

T A G G I N G : ainsley // @adelinechadwell, @jorgebenitez, @dulcie-hernandez

L O C A T I O N : the dollhouse (why hasn’t the town burned this down yet)

T R I G G E R S : drug/overdose mention, suicidal thoughts, generalized heartbreak

just do the next right thing

Ainsley came to in a dark room and immediately began to panic. There were cuffs stuck to her wrists and, as the lights flashed on in an act of aggression, all she could see was a dark screen and a red button. “What the fuck?” Her heart threatened to burst out of her chest as panic creeped into her chest. She was shocked at how powerful her fight or flight response was considering she’d spent much of her life unsure whether she wanted to be alive at all. Now, over six months clean again, she knew she had something to live for. Of course she’d get kidnapped and locked in a cell as soon as she found a will to live. Little did she know it was about to get so much worse.

She heard a voice -- it had to be Chanel’s -- giving her game instructions. Twenty questions was a game she’d played at sleepovers before she earned her title of basket case and never was invited again. It evolved into a drinking game at parties she’d played until she was too high to participate at those anymore. It was an innocuous game but she knew better than to underestimate the Panic game masters.

The screen came to life and Ainsley’s heart sank to her toes. Wearing the same cuffs as her and looking entirely too pure and innocent for this game, was the love of her life. Adeline hadn’t asked for this. She’d actively told Ainsley she thought it was a bad idea for her to do it. Ainsley was only putting herself in danger, something she was more than comfortable with, when she decided to play. This was going too far.

“Adeline!” She cried. She was pleased to know that she could hear her and she began profusely apologizing for getting her into this mess. She promised it would be over soon even though she had no right to promise such a thing.

It was not over soon.

The first question came and surprised her. They asked whether her parents were disappointed in her. Ainsley wasn’t a stranger to gossip and rumors and most of the people in town knew she’d been to rehab so it didn’t seem like a breach of privacy to admit the truth. Though, she did it without any real digging. “Yeah, probably.” She said with a shrug.

It wasn’t the right thing to say.

Adeline screamed and contorted with pain. Ainsley’s heart was thudding like the hooves of a race horse on track. “What the fuck?!” She screamed. Immediately she apologized to Adeline again. She promised her she’d do better. She wouldn’t let her get shocked again.

That was another promise she broke.

The punishments were random. Clearly her answer (obviously, what the fuck do you think?) to whether or not she missed valium was insufficient. The shocks came to her as well but did not stop hitting Adeline even as she did her best to answer honestly as quickly as possible.

Another question: Do you blame Jorge Benitez for your overdose?

Another answer: No. I never have. He was doing his job. It’s not his job to monitor my intake and I chose to take more than I should knowing exactly what the risks were. I didn’t care whether I lived or died.

Ainsley had always been more honest than was polite. She didn’t have much shame left in her. She was frequently honest when it would be easier and kinder to lie to the people she loved. Hell, she’d told Adeline she was still in love with her and it hurt to be around her sometimes when they were having a casual hang after Pride just a few weeks prior.

There was a question about whether she felt like a failure, whether she thought her friends were moving on with their lives while she was stuck, how her little brother was effected by her using. She answered everything as honestly and completely as she knew how. It felt like it was taking days to get to the next question sometimes and she wasn’t sure which was worse: the anticipation of getting shocked or seeing Adeline shocked, or the anticipation of another question after so much silence.

She’d started to get bored of answering after a while. She could speak about her suicidal ideations and attempts with little to no emotion. The deepest and darkest parts of her were the ones most easily accessible to her.

She was unprepared for the final round of questioning.

Question: How do you feel about Adeline moving on with Dulcie Hernandez so soon after dumping you?

Spots crept into her vision.

“What?” She said weakly.

Helpfully, they repeated the question.

Ainsley hadn’t known about this. Her eyes were trained on Adeline as she attempted to file that new information with the girl she was looking at. She hadn’t told her she was seeing other people, let alone that there was already another person, singular. She thought they had broken up because they were too co-dependent, that they weren’t healthy for each other at the moment. Was that all a lie? Had Adeline suddenly begun lying to her?

She stammered a bit. Her eyes started to water. She shook her head as she tried to reckon with this news and failed to process it. Before she knew it ten seconds was over. She failed to answer in time. The shock came but she was already numb.

═══════════════

And to this day, even with those involved and responsible gone... I still do not feel safe as a queer man in this state or in this country.

Months later, the city tried to buy the property off. A mere few months after Orlando's LGBTQ+ and Latino communities suffered the largest tragedy it has known, the city and government put a price of $2.25 million on our blood. They claimed they wanted to make it a memorial site, to "honor us". In reality, they wanted profit. Quoted how “There are lots of people that are making a visit to the site part of their trip, part of their experience of Orlando, so I think 12 to 18 months of leaving it as-is would be appropriate."

Today there was a memorial held for the victims. It was live streamed on various news websites. And there is nothing but hatred in these chats, even in the face of mourning. Comments about how disgusting LGBTQ+ people were. How we were going to repent. How we were demons plaguing the nation's cities. How we deserve to be cast out or murdered for our sins. Comments about how there will be a forcible eradication of "our kind", whether we like it or not.

Today, the memorial independently, thanks to the club's owners and the onePULSE Foundation, which I encourage you donate to (if you can).

2023 EDIT: I rescind my statements about onePULSE now that new knowledge has come to light.

Local organizers and victims do not support onePULSE, as there are no survivors involved in onePULSE. Barbara Poma (a figurehead) is currently on vacation and the foundation has no plans to lead any community events. onePULSE is ultimately turning a profit on the backs of the survivors of this tragedy and the only thing they're bringing to the community is disaster tourism.

Instead, check out this group run by victims and the community impacted most by this tragedy:

═══════════════

But the fight for our rights, our recognition, and our safety still continues:

While they cannot be enforced, sodomy laws still exist in Florida to this day. Every year, we are still criminalized by a technicality.

In many places, same-sex domestic partnerships are still not granted. It is only viable in approximately nine counties, thirty cities, and one town.

The state's "hate crime law" only accounts for sexual orientation, and does not protect victims who were attacked for their gender identity.

Anti-discrimination laws for sexual orientation and gender identity are not state-wide nor equally applicable within each county/town.

Gay-panic and Trans-panic are still viable legal defenses, resulting in these abhorrent hate crimes to be decreased from murder to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Conversion therapy against minors is not banned state-wide, and is still legal within many areas of the state. In fact, in some areas, a ban on the practice is deemed "unenforceable".

This is our reality.

I hope someday that this kind of shit will stop. It’s horrible. It’s disgusting. I want to scream and cry and punch a wall. These people didn’t deserve this. Nobody deserves this.

I feel terrible that I’ve only learned of this event recently, but now that I know, I will honor the names of these people who lost their lives five years ago. Thank you for teaching me. Remember Orlando.
