Local Gay Bar Holds Vigil For Orlando Victims

CHARLOTTE, NC– The outpouring of grief and love for the 49 victims of the Orlando Terror Attack continues across the country. Tonight people came together at the L4 Lounge in Plaza Midwood for a candlelight vigil.

The names of all 49 victims were read, and 49 balloons were released in their memory. The theme for the vigil was love for all.

“We’re going to have the kids release the balloons because they’re our future. And if we can show them love for all, and then hopefully they’ll pass it on to the next generation as well.” said L4 Lounge owner Tamalea Pierce.

Pierce says all the money raised at tonight’s vigil will go the the GoFundMe account that has been set up for the Orlando victims and their families.
