A new group in the LGBT community has formed to spread awareness about gun violence.
Gays Against Guns formed in the aftermath of the Orlando shooting and met on June 17 to officially organize and make plans to be in the NYC Pride March, according to a press release.
The group, comprised of LGBT New Yorkers and allies, marched during the Pride parade on Sunday to help remember the 49 victims of the Orlando shooting and to spread awareness of their message.
However, its main goal is to advocate working through peaceful actions to prevent another massacre like the Orlando shooting.
The group will focus on gun policy in the U.S., specifically banning access to high-capacity magazine guns and assault weapons, creating stricter background check systems, banning gun sales over the internet and closing the loophole that allows weapons sales at gun shows without background checks.
The group’s website said it aims to formalize its responsibility and find its place within the larger gun control movement.
“Government has failed us. Life is valuable, and we’re at our best when life is celebrated in peace. Actions speak louder than petitions, lobbyists, prayers, thoughts and moments of silence,” the statement read.

“Government has failed us.”
So their answer is more government control. You can’t fix stupid.
I’d rather join GAG than GLUG (Gays Licking Ugly Guys). I’ve still got a little bit of pride.
Liberal logic
LOL!!!!!!!
Sounds like it is anti-Islamic!
49 killed and 53 injured by that muzzie savage were the numbers I heard the next day. As far as I know NONE of those 53 died from their gunshot wounds. Can that be possible? Anyone know anything different on that 53 wounded/ALL survived number?
Has anyone else noticed, that the liberals and the media have made Orlando all about gun control, and to an extent about gays?? But they are virtually ignoring the fact that Orlando was the deadliest terrorist attack in America since 9/11??
Against Guns?
They want to pull a Caitlyn?
LOL.
how about...
Fruits against Firearms
Receivers against Revolvers :)
...However, its main goal is to advocate working through peaceful actions to prevent another massacre like the Orlando shooting...
Does part of the peaceful actions include a rewrite of the Koran statements about homosexuals? If not, they still have a major problem worse than most other infidels.
These people are STUPID!...........
Media: “We need an anti-gun ‘Gay” group... stat!”
I wonder if that 'life is valuable' thing is going to be enough for HIV/AIDS infected gays to start practicing celibacy to prevent more gay on gay murders like Orlando? Probably a lot easier to just blame guns, tho.
Ok. Christians and gays agree in peaceful conflict resolution. Alas that’s completely irrelevant to Orlando.
Fruits Against Guns was a close second.
Wake me when they start a group called Gays Against Being Thrown off Buildings and Stoned by Muslims When the First Murder Attempt for Being GAY Doesn’t Work.
On Twitter since Orlando, the gays seem to have gone our way rather than this tripe. They are all over the place with don’t tread on me flags, buying guns and ammo at ultra high rates and taking shooting classes. Much of this energized by breitbart’ Milo, who is more of a conservative than Paul Ryan on his best day. Just sayin’...
Ninety percent of gays are democrats... this isn’t ‘news’... it’s dog bites man... What’s your next post? Gays form group in support of global warming?
Let me take a wild guess here. None of these people in this newly formed group were in the nightclub the night of the shooting.
