The World’s Landmarks Lit Up In Rainbow Colours As A Tribute To The Orlando Victims

If you’ve been following the news, one of the most horrific mass shooting went down in Orlando this weekend, as 49 people were gunned down and 53 more were wounded by a crazed shooter in the gay bar Pulse, in Orlando, Florida.

Support poured out from all over the world when it was found that the gunman, Omar Mateen, was against LGBT rights and, hence, wanted to ‘cleanse’ the pub.

Continuing the support, the world’s major buildings and landmarks were lit up in the colours of the rainbow to pay tribute to the victims of the Orlando shooting, and also to support LGBT rights all over the world.
