Artists and activists from the community responded to the Orlando shooting with love and defiance and posted their kissing and hugging photos on the social media. People responded with messages of strength and resilience in the face of violence. "I stand with the LGBT community. I stand with the Muslim community. together we stand against terrorism. together we stand in solidarity," a user wrote on Twitter.
