“Nakakalungkot isipin na dahil lang sa kung sino kami at mga pinili namin mahalin, akala ng mga ibang tao, wala na kaming puwang sa mundo... " - Aiza

Although it happened thousands of miles away, OPM singer and LGBT advocate Aiza Seguerra feels the searing pain of loss when news broke out over the weekend about the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida U.S.A.

News websites reported that the suspect identified as Omar Mateen open fired inside an Orlando gay nightclub killing at least 50 people.

Experts described it as the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Aiza took to Instagram to express her sympathy towards the victims of the tragedy.

“Nakakalungkot isipin na dahil lang sa kung sino kami at mga pinili namin mahalin, akala ng mga ibang tao, wala na kaming puwang sa mundo. Sana huwag ninyong kalimutan na ang LGBT ay mga tao rin, at may mga taong nagmamahal sa amin at nagbibigay ng pagpapahalaga sa aming buhay kagaya ng mga pamilya at kaibigan. Hindi porke iba ang tingin ninyo sa amin ay mayroon na kayong lisensiya para murahin kami, pagkaitan ng karapatan at kalayaan, pagtawanan, bastusin, saktan at patayin. Tao kami. Kagaya ninyong lahat.”

Reigning Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach also posted on the photo-sharing app her support for the LGBT community around the world who are all suffering because of this ruthless attack.

 

Yes we all know everything that's been going around the world. Around the world. Not just in the United States. Why do people have to suffer? That's a question none of us can truly answer. But one thing I'm certain of, nobody deserves the feeling of terror. Nobody. You have my love and you are in my prayers. I know all about the hospital shootings, the girl who was killed from The Voice, the bomb that exploded in an airport in China, the missing airplane, etc. I'm aware of all of these. And if you're wondering why I chose this photo? Because I am Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach from a highly conservative Catholic country but I am not afraid. Celebrated but also sometimes criticized. And staying true to my word, the LGBT community is close to my heart. It's 2016, people. There's no room for hate anymore. Now let's see all those multi colored hearts for YES. ?????????????????? #NoHateJustLove ??????????????????
