Orlando's LGBT Bars Respond Differently To Pulse Massacre

NPR | By Kirk Siegler
Published June 14, 2016 at 4:30 PM EDT

The Orlando shootings sent a wave of shock across the city that is known as a premier destination for gay nightlife. Pulse is one of about a dozen gay bars and nightclubs. Some clubs closed temporarily at the request of police while safety protocols are revised; others are hiring armed security guards and remaining open.
