WendyA dance floor that went silent ten years ago. This week marked a decade since a gunman murdered 49 people at Pulse in Orlando — most of them queer, Latino, and young, in a room meant to be a sanctuary.
Survivors say the recovery has no finish line. Grief like this doesn't resolve; it becomes part of the architecture of a life. So we do the only thing that answers it: we say the names out loud, every year, and refuse the numbness that wants to file the dead under 'unfortunate' and move on.
The thread runs from Stonewall to Pulse to now, asking the same question it always has: who gets to be a person. Silence was never going to protect us.
