At a vigil in Orlando, the names of the 49 victims killed at the Pulse nightclub were being read out. A photographer looked up, and saw a flock of birds flying across.
She clicked a photo, only to find that the number of birds to be 49. That’s the exact number of dead on the fateful Sunday night, according to a CNN report.
The report does not mention the name of the photographer.
For many, the birds symbolised the freedom homosexuals all over the world deserve. Freedom from family values. Freedom from archaic laws. Freedom from hate.
