Last Monday night, monuments and government buildings around the world lit up with the colors of the rainbow in support of the LGBT community and the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history — a massacre that unfolded at Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, where 49 people were murdered and 53 were wounded.
In Orlando, a number of commercial buildings lit up the skyline with rainbow colors, but the Orlando Eye was most impressive:
In New York City, the spiral atop One World Trade was lit up in rainbow…
…while the Empire State Building went completely dark:
