Statement from PRIDE Executive board regarding Orlando

All members of the LGBTQI community are suffering in the face of this past weekend’s tragedy in Orlando. As PRIDE leaders here at UTHSCSA, we extend our deepest condolences to the friends and family of those killed and injured in Florida this past weekend. We share your sorrow; we share your anger; we stand witness to your anguish.

To those members of the UTHSCSA community who may be hurting, wounded or simply feeling at a loss in the face of this most recent act of violence, please know that we are here to support you. We hope that you will not feel alone or isolated in this time of great sadness.
