Compass responds to massacre in Orlando

This article in The Palm Beach Post by Alexandra Seltzer didn't make the print edition today (Monday, 6/13) but Kevin Thompson's vapid 'news' about the City's new street lighting did. If you would like to contact Compass and show them support call 561-533-9699, send an email to compass@compassglcc.com and for their website use this link. An excerpt from the article:

     “In response to this horrible tragedy we want people to feel safe and still come together,” said Julie Seaver, Compass’ chief financial officer.
     Sunday’s event [at the Mad Hatter] was previously planned as a luau, and Seaver thought about canceling after she heard about the killings. But community members said they wanted to be together, she said.
     “The community, the LGBT community around the nation is strong and rallying together in support for Orlando,” Seaver said. “We don’t know why this tragedy happened if it was specifically a hate crime and obviously it’s an ongoing investigation but the community wants to be together and we’re all just glued to the news. It’s just horrible. I honestly have never seen anything like this in my lifetime.”
     June is LGBTQ Pride Month. Seaver said some of the community members were in Orlando this past week celebrating the Gay Days festival.
