Watch The World Pay Tribute To The Victims Of The Orlando Shooting

The world is still reckoning with the weekend’s mass shooting at Orlando, Florida’s Pulse LGBT nightclub, in which 49 people lost their lives and 53 more were wounded.

(The number of dead was initially reported as 50.)

More information has since come to light in the wake of America’s deadliest ever mass shooting.

For instance, it has been reported that the shooter, Omar Meteen, frequented Pulse and also had a profile on a gay dating app. (His father previously explained that Omar was once enraged by the sight of two men kissing, while his ex-wife told the Washington Post that Meteen was abusive towards her.)

Elsewhere, Presidential would-bes Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are trading barbs over their individual reactions to the tragedy. Fears of “homegrown extremism” – as President Obama put it – continues to concern those around the world. And, as follows any mass shooting in the U.S., a newly-ignited debate over gun control rages, with the grim reminder of America’s gun deaths (the death rate, according to the New York Times, is “31 per million people – the equivalent of 27 people shot dead every day of the year”) doing little to incite change.

But outside of the realm of politics, people from around the globe are offering their condolences to the gay community and sharing in the grief with heartwarming – and heartbreaking – tributes.

In Australia, the Sydney Harbour Bridge lit up with the colours of the gay pride rainbow on Monday evening, as did Melbourne’s Arts Centre spire, the National Galley of Victoria and Town Hall. Brisbane’s Story Bridge followed suit.

Those in Paris could see the Eiffel Tower in a similar display of unity.

The Tony awards made frequent mention to the victims, with Lin-Manuel Miranda, of Hamilton, reading an emotional sonnet that reminded “love is love is love is love is love is love is love; cannot be killed or swept aside”.

Adele similarly teared up at the Belgium, dedicating the show to “everybody in Orlando and at Pulse nightclub last night”, adding, “the LGBTQ community [are] like my soulmates since I was really young”.

Finally, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s Tituss Burgess attended a rally at Stonewall Inn, a historic site considered the launching pad of the gay rights movement. There, he sang “Somewhere” to remember those who passed away. Try not to cry.

More details surrounding the Pulse shooting will no doubt stream in over the next few weeks. Hopefully the humanity-restoring tributes will not diminish in kind.
