First hour: The impact of the Orlando mass shooting on the gay community
Second hour: Reactions from the Islamic community after the Orlando mass shooting
One day after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we examine how the attack on the Orlando nightclub has impacted the gay and Islamic communities. The shooting left 49 victims dead and more than 53 wounded. Investigators say the lone shooter was Omar Mateen, and they are treating the case as a terrorist investigation. In our first hour, we'll talk to members of the local gay community about how they are healing. Our guests:
- Matt Haag, member of Rochester City Council
- Peter Mohr, owner of the Bachelor Forum
- Kellie Ronald, straight ally
In our second hour, we'll talk about how the Islamic community is reacting to the shooting. We'll also look at efforts made by both communities to ensure they are not pitted against each other. What is the path forward? We'll also talk about the debate on gun policy. Our guests:
- Sareer Fazili, president of the Islamic Center of Rochester
- Jake Shapiro, bartender at 140 Alex
