Survivors and family members of the Pulse nightclub massacre nine years ago are getting a chance to walk through the long-shuttered, gay-friendly venue this week.
Approximately 250 people, including 120 family members of the 24 victims and 70 survivors, are expected to visit the Pulse nightclub site.
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ annual statement on the Pulse shooting anniversary released Wednesday makes no mention of the LGBTQ and Hispanic communities — the two groups most devastated by the massacre that left 49 dead.
