Lady Gaga gets emotional during tribute to Orlando shooting victims
Lady Gaga couldn't hold back her tears when she talked about the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that left 49 victims dead and 53 injured.
She stood with LGBT community members in a vigil outside of Los Angeles City Hall and spoke of the tragedy.
"We mourn the tragic loss of these innocent, beautiful people," said the pop star. "Let's all today pledge an allegiance of love to them and to their families who are suffering so deeply. They are sons and daughters. They were fathers and mothers. They are all our brothers and our sisters."
She continued: "But, tonight I will not allow my anger and outrage over this attack to overshadow our need to honor those who are grieving truly for their lost ones; lost members of the LGBT community."
"Tomorrow I hope that we all race thoughtfully and loudly towards solutions. But tonight, and right now, Orlando, we are united with you. And we are here to remember," she said before reading some of the victims' names.
Gaga, who is very popular in the LGBT community, wrote a series of tweets about the shooting, saying, "We can always count on one another's pain to remind us what strength is all about."
