In the past weeks, the tragic shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando has weighed heavily on all of our thoughts. With 49 victims, the hashtag #SayTheirNames has served as a way to memorialize those who lost their lives. Their photos and some anecdotes of their lives have circulated around the internet, making sure none are forgotten.
Ryan Murphy has directed a tribute video for HRC that preserves each victim's memory and tells their stories. In the video, 49 celebs wear black and sit against a black backdrop, each one reciting a brief biography of one of the victims. Lady Gaga, Caitlyn Jenner, Matt Bomer, and Laverne Cox are just a few of the many names who came together to tell these stories. They also use the platform to call for an end to hate crimes and gun violence.
