"If you're going to save the day, and you're hearing what I say","I won't take nothing less than a deeper love". You know I, I need a miracle, I need a miracle.-FRAGMA


FROM NOH8:
 We are all family. Sending love to our family in Orlando today. ‪#‎NOH8‬


FROM HRC (HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION):  

Today, the Human Rights Campaign responded to reports of a mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The club serves the area’s LGBTQ community and law enforcement are reporting the attack as an act of domestic terror that has claimed the lives of 50 people and injured at least 53 others. HRC has lowered its flag to half mast.
HRC President Chad Griffin said, “We are devastated by this tragic act of violence, which has reportedly claimed the lives of at least 50 LGBTQ people and allies and injured more than 50 others. We are grieving for the victims and our hearts are broken for their friends, families, and for the entire community. This tragedy has occurred as our community celebrates pride, and now more than ever we must come together as a nation to affirm that love conquers hate.” ‪#‎LoveConquersHate‬ ‪#‎orlando‬ http://www.hrc.org/…/human-rights-campaign-statement-on-tra…

FROM PULSE (ULTRA) CLUB (ORLANDO, FLORIDA):
 http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/12/us/orlando-pulse-nightclub/index.html
Pulse Ultra Club MB grieves with the families of those affected by the massacre in Orlando this morning. You are always reminded you have a heart when it breaks, and ours is broken. A gay nightclub is suppose to be a place where LGBT people can be themselves without fear, and where judgement Is left at the door. Love is love. We are all Americans and will stand strong together, united as one family.
In light of the Orlando tragedy this morning, Pulse Ultra Club MB will be holding two moments of silence this evening. The first one will be at 6 PM, as the City of Orlando will be holding their vigil. The second one will be at 11 PM during our Karaoke night that starts at 10:30. Come out tonight and be with family. Sing for those taken away from us too soon. ‪#‎onefamily‬ ‪#‎loveislove‬


FROM ITP V.016:  

Gay clubs are usually alot of fun and draw a diverse, multicultural group of patrons dancing from anything to top 40 remixes, to EDM/techno, deep house, to jungle and the like. The diversity goes far in modern gay clubs, to ravers whom want to to dance to EDM, to drag queens and contests, college students looking to socialize and meet others, to jump rope to music, and peeps bringing their own instruments. Both hetero and LGBTQ enjoy the gay club scene here in the U.S.A. as I've met some wonderful people clubbing over the years.
Gay clubs are a pretty chill environment without the over indulgence of other clubs, nor the macho alcoholism.
Condolences to all of the deceased friends and family at CLUB PULSE, we need to stand for LGBTQ civil rights, club safety and against terrorism more than ever.
Also, RI.P. TO THE VOICE (NBC) contestant CHRISTINA GRIMMIE whom was murdered by some random psychopath at a MEET and GREET in Orlando, Florida.

MEET and GREETS are meant as structured time for fans to meet artists (for an extra ticket fee better known as VIP/MEET AND GREET) as perhaps security should be increased at public events and between artists and fans as this intimacy should NOT be exploited. . R.I.P. to CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

"I won't take nothing less than a deeper love". You know I, I need a miracle, I need a miracle, it's more physical what I need to feel from you" "Tell me you understand as you take me as I am".-FRAGMA
Considering the mass murder last night at CLUB PULSE (ORLANDO. FLORIDA), this is a difficult time for the LGBTQ community, and Americans in general as I'm also struggling.
Don't let any of this terrorism nor hate get us down. As we should all, of every race, gender, sexuality, religion, atheism, agnosticism, musical preference mobilize for unity and against senseless hate and for civil rights and safety.

FRAGMA's "TOCA'S MIRACLE" was a major club hit late last decade (specifically in EUROPE) as I was exposed to this classic in the gay clubs where you could hear some good EDM/house/trance/jungle and re-mixes. .
Yes, there are many re-mixes of FRAGMA's "TOCA'S MIRACLE", as the track is sensual, dance able , ravers dig it, as the remixes are soundtrack to any sexual orientation.
I'm dedicating FRAGMA's "TOCA's MIRACLE" to GAY PRIDE 2016 world wide, dancers, ravers, EDM peeps, and all those whom are heart broken and alienated.

We WILL ENDURE, We will persevere.

We wish we could share all of the powerful and moving eulogies from  yesterday's Memorial Service, but there is one that we must.
