In the wake of what has happened, I feel time is better spent focusing on those who were hurt and need help. So no blog entry from me today, there's more important things to focus on.
Here's a link to an article with ways you can help those suffering right now:

Here's a gofundme raising money for the victims:

Reach out to your friends, family and community members who are part of the GLBT community and hurting right now, even if they aren't showing it. Make sure they are ok and remind them that there are people who care about them and that they are loved.
Don't downplay people's pain just because you may not approve or understand of their lifestyle.
And above all, be nice to each other. Things like this shouldn't happen. And when they do happen, they shouldn't be ignored, they should be prevented from happening again. Preventing them and stopping them depends on you.
