Letter to the Editor: CFFC stands with community after tragedy

The Central Florida Freethought Community is shocked

and saddened by the shootings at Pulse nightclub. CFFC

extends its sincerest condolences to the victims, their families, and

friends.

CFFC Founder, David Williamson said atheists, humanists, and freethinkers

in the CFFC stand with their allies, friends, and family members who are

part of the LGBTQ community and the Muslim community, urges peace, and

encourages members and others to assist with their efforts to provide

support to the entire community.

We are truly outraged by this senseless act of violence, Williamson

said. "The possible motivations of the perpetrator and the targeting of

LGBTQ Americans only deepens the need for our community to come together.

We strongly support our LGBTQ friends in grieving and urge those who are

able to donate blood and other needed resources to begin the healing."

The Central Florida Freethought Community strongly condemns this heinous

act. Regardless of the motivation, this act of violence is unacceptable

and inconsistent with secular and humanist values. It encourages local

residents to contact OneBlood.org to coordinate a donation visit and

support the Equality Florida fundraiser for the victims families.
