President Joe Biden said on the fifth anniversary of a mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando that he will sign a bill naming the site as a national memorial.
The deadliest attack on the LGBTQ community in U.S. history left 49 people dead and 53 people wounded as “Latin Night” was being celebrated at the club. Biden said in a statement Saturday that he has “stayed in touch with families of the victims and with the survivors who have turned their pain into purpose" and described the club as “hallowed ground.”
The president emphasized that the country must do more to reduce gun violence, such as banning assault weapons and closing loopholes in regulations that enable gun buyers to bypass background checks. Biden said the nation must acknowledge that gun violence has hurt members of the LGBTQ community
“We must drive out hate and inequities that contribute to the epidemic of violence and murder against transgender women - especially transgender women of color,” Biden said.

Where are the Memorials for the great victories over Islam?
Shouldn’t there be a barf alert?
This is SICK SICK SICK!!!!!!
Mission accomplished! Memorial needed!
Remember when the UN laughed at ImaDinnerJacket when he said they didn’t have this in Iran?
There’s good reason not to want it.
Gee, I wonder if Biden will honor the shooter’s Father too. After all, he’s a big Democrat donor and close friend of Mrs. Clinton.
Darn that otherwise-nameless “violent extremism” and “gun violence.”
Biden said in a statement Saturday that he has “stayed in touch with families of the victims and with the survivors who have turned their pain into purpose" and described the club as “hallowed ground.” …A nominal Catholic spits in God’s eye.
As a national monument, will the men’s room retain the glory holes?
Somehow there isn’t the slightest curiosity about the motivation of the shooter.
I looked to see if this was the Bee....
D-Day? Meh! Some people did some stuff.
Somehow I don’t think this will be as visited as say, The Washington Monument, or Mount Rushmore.
They are killed by their own at higher rates....
Just like the blacks....
Joe Biden did not mention that this was a terrorist attack? I guess it was because it was done by a Muslim, not by a White Supremacist.
Take off your mask, you’re a super spreader. Spread HIV and you get a shrine.
If statues of Abraham Lincoln can be pulled down then this joint would have to be considered fair game.
So he’s making a national monument of it.
Does that mean he’s celebrating the islamic slaughter of (American) gays?
LBGQT pandering jackass
