Summary

The Eiffel Tower was lit in rainbow colors in solidarity with the victims of the attack at nightclub in Orlando.  The mourning in Paris is one of many vigils worldwide in honor of the LGBT community, the victims and sustained injury at the gay nightclub, including respect in Britain and the US.

Opinion

Same-sex marriage is not generally accepted today.  In particular, the battle for LGBT’s rights is serious in Asia.  In China, homosexuality is decriminalized 20 years ago.  The stigma, however,  remains because social tradition that strongly emphasizes the duty of sons and daughters to get married and bear children to continue the family line.  Although I will not contradict the idea, It is wrong to impose stereotype one on others.  I believe that this “lights up” can change public attitudes toward LGBT.
