Religious leaders from different faiths gathered at an interfaith conference in Nevada at the weekend. After the attack in Orlando where LGBT people were targeted and 50 people were killed, leaders of the different faiths met to share their feelings and make a statement..
Leaders of Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Baha'i, Native American and Athiest traditions gathered in a church to strongly condemn the attack.
Rajan Zed, who organised the gathering said, "We, as people of faith, despite our different belief systems, must take a stand against violence by coming together with kindness and love."
Meanwhile many countries are showing their support LGBT people by lighting up land,arks in rainbow colours. The rainbow flag is a LGBT symbol.

What's happening in these pictures?
Why are religious leaders of different faiths choosing to meet up?
Why do the religious leaders say, "despite our different belief systems"?
What can we learn from these religious leaders?
Why are different countries showing rainbow colours?
What does this say about how people in different countries feel about LGBT people?
How does this relate to what we say about No Outsiders in our school?
What can we do at school to make sure all people know they are welcome, including LGBT people?
