abstract="On June 12th, 2016, the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida was the target of one of the country's deadliest mass shootings. Pulse, a gay nightclub, was hosting a Latin Pride Night the evening of the tragedy, resulting in the death of 49 victims and 53 casualties, over 90% of whom were lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Latinx people, specifically. The present research investigates the narrative responses from LGBT people of color (LGBT-POC) following the tragedy. <br><br>RESULTS included an analysis of 94 participant narrative responses. <br><br>RESULTS were collected online from a sample of LGBT-POC with varying sexual, gender, and racial identities. Thematic analysis revealed four major themes: 1) Violence is Not New for LGBT-POC; 2) Personal Identification with Victims; 3) Lack of Intersectionality in Others' Responses to Orlando; and 4) Acknowledgement of Intersectionality across LGBT-POC. <br><br>DISCUSSION focuses on describing the ways in which LGBT-POC responded to the shooting regarding their multiple minority identities. Implications of this research reinforce the need for continued intersectional research with LGBT-POC.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
