Husb and I went to a vigil in the city centre last evening for those recently murdered in the atrocity in Orlando in the USA. It was sad but also joyous because so many people came together to commemorate those who had died and to stand up for what’s right. I’m of an age that I can remember when friends were routinely “queer-bashed” back in the 1970s and 1980s and the police and general public didn’t want to know. Times have changed. What was heartening at the vigil was the spread of ages, from elders to teenagers, united.
I’m currently working on a series of expressive drawings of ancestral sites and if you want to see some of my other artworks, please click here.

I couldn’t even think about this when it happened – what is there to say? Wonderful to think that people can come together to mourn this kind of action.
I think it has affected people worldwide. We have to come together and reject violence internationally.
It’s beautiful to hear and to read about so many supporting people.
It’s heartening to see the response across the world. So good to see that attitudes to gay people have changed so much.
Thanks for sharing this. Heartbreaking
Yes. So very sad xx
