Blood banks in Orlando are now full after people queued for hours to donate their own blood, following the attack on a gay club on Saturday night where 50 people were killed.
Workers at one blood bank said they had never seen a response like it, with 600 - 700 people waiting to give blood. Some waited for 7 hours to donate.
Trucks came to serve free drinks and food.
What's happening in the picture?
What do you notice about the different people?
Explain the image
-Why do people in this photo want to give blood?
-Explain there was an attack was on a gay club over the weekend where 50 people were killed and the people in this photo are waiting to give blood to the hospitals.
-Do you think all the people in this photo are gay? Why do these people want to give their blood to gay people?
-There are people here of different races, genders, ages; what does that show us about people in Florida?
-How does this relate to our No Outsiders belief?
-What can we learn form Florida and this picture?
Conclude by saying what happened on Saturday night was a terrible act of violence against one section of our community. We know that not everyone agrees with us about equality and No Outsiders and that is why we have to spread our message. This photo shows that there are many many people around the world who do agree with us and want a diverse community where different people live together. Think about what we can do in our own city to make sure attacks like this do not happen here; how can we make sure everyone in our city knows they belong and are welcome no matter who they are.
