Just over one month after the shootings at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, ESPN has released a video featuring members and allies of the LBGT community speaking about their experiences and offering their thoughts on the tragedy. Additionally, in the video some ESPN anchors and others give their condolences to the families of those lost as well as messages of support to the city of Orlando.
As ESPN Front Row writes, “In the wake of tragedy, people come together, rise above, and exhibit to the world a trait of human kindness that proves we are one. With the attack on the Pulse nightclub last month in Orlando, many lives were changed forever. Hundreds of ESPN employees signed banners that were set out at both cafes, and at the Los Angeles Production Center (LAPC), and then were sent down to Disney in Orlando. With the assistance from the Communications Production Group, ESPN EQUAL produced a seven-minute video expressing our thoughts for our colleagues at Disney. Twenty-one participants from across ESPN contributed to the video.”
