Remembering the Pulse Nightclub Tragedy: 10 Years Later

Today marks ten years since our community was profoundly affected by an unthinkable act of violence. Pulse nightclub, a sanctuary of acceptance and joy, became the site of a tragedy that united us in grief and left permanent marks on our hearts.

We remember the 49 beautiful lives taken from us far too soon. Each person represented a unique story of love, dreams, and aspirations, cruelly cut short by hatred. We honor their memories by continuing our fight for a world free from gun violence and bigotry, one that celebrates diversity, embraces inclusion, and stands firmly against hate.

Hey dancers! 💛🌈✨

Let's fill IKEA with Orange County Pride 💛🌈🔥✨

Today, June 7th, marks 72 years since we lost Alan Turing.

He is the father of computer science. He cracked the N**i Enigma code during World War II, an act credited with shortening the war and saving millions of lives. The device you're reading this on exists in large part because of him.

And the British government chemically castrated him for being gay.

In 1952, after his relationship with a man was discovered, Turing was prosecuted under the UK's "gross indecency" laws. He was given a choice: prison or hormonal injections to suppress his sexuality. Two years later, he was found dead next to a half-eaten apple laced with cyanide. He was 41.

The country he saved refused to let him simply exist.
A posthumous pardon and a formal government apology came decades too late for a man who deserved to live free.

The bears are back from hibernation! 🐻✨
