We Are Orlando

“Americans don’t agree on what happened in Orlando, or what should happen now.”

 ”Orlando is a queer AND racial issue AFTER a gun control, Islamophobia, and mental health issue.”

“We need a new word, because neither ‘hate’ nor ‘terror’ will suffice.”

“I don’t know how to pray so I cry.”

“Queerness is a political force powered by anger.”

So, instead of taking the long view, eventually looking back, we’ve opted to respond now—in more or less the heat of the moment, starting tomorrow—for the weeklong series We Are Orlando. Because BOMB is about heat, is it not?
