Orlando Shooting: Lady GaGa delivers heartfelt speech at L.A. vigil for victims

Lady GaGa joined leaders from the LGBT community to remember those killed in the Orlando mass shooting at Pulse nightclub on Saturday night, June 11. The "Bad Romance" hitmaker took the stage at the West Coast vigil in front of Los Angeles' City Hall to offer her prayers and condolences to the victims of the incident.
Facing thousands of people and some waving rainbow flags, GaGa read the names of the victims and delivered emotional speech as she struggled to hold back her tears. "As we have now witnessed the largest mass shooting in American history, I can't help but feel that this level of hatred, like all prejudicial crimes, this is an attack on humanity itself," she told the crowd.
"Tonight, I gather humbly with you, as a human being, in peace, in sincerity, in commitment, in solidarity, to take a real moment and mourn the tragic loss of these innocent, beautiful people. 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," she continued.
GaGa, who was simply dressed in an all-black outfit, added, "Lost members of the LGBT community, I hope you know that myself and so many are your allies. I can't help but feel that this level of hatred, like all prejudicial crimes, is an attack on humanity itself... Tonight, Orlando, we are united with you to remember."
