Your guide to LGBT Atlanta’s fundraisers and tribute concerts for Orlando shooting victims

Atlanta’s LGBT community continues to step up to help the victims of the shooting at Orlando LGBT nightclub Pulse. So many fundraisers and tributes have been created that it’s hard to keep up, so here’s a handy guide so you know where and when to go. If we missed any or new ones are created, email me at psaunders@thegavoice.com and I’ll update the list.

And don’t forget, Uber is offering free rides to a few bars, events and organizations through Monday night, so take advantage of that while you can.
