I know that you all have been feeling a tremendous range of emotions
since we've all heard about this horrible, hateful attack
on Orlando and on your and our community.
As we have now witnessed the largest mass shooting in American history,
I can't help but feel that this level of hatred, like all prejudicial crimes,
This is an attack on humanity itself.
This is an attack on everyone.
Tonight, I gather humbly
with you as a human being
in peace, in sincerity,
in commitment, in solidarity
to take a real moment and mourn the tragic loss of these innocent, beautiful people.
And let's all today pledge an allegiance of love to them
and to their families who are suffering so deeply.
They are sons and daughters.
They're fathers and mothers.
They are all our brothers and our sisters.
But tonight I will not allow my anger and outrage over this attack
to overshadow our need to honor those who are grieving truly for their lost ones.
Lost members of the LGBT community.
I hope you know that myself and so many are your allies.
Not only me, but everyone here, 
we represent the compassion
and the loyalty of millions of people around
the world that believe in you. You are not alone.
You are not alone.
Tomorrow, I hope that we all race thoughtfully and loudly towards solutions.
But tonight, and right now, Orlando,
we are united with you
and we are here to remember.
