In a salute to the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting tragedy, the centre of Sydney has turned pink.
The gesture on Monday signalled the city’s solidarity with the victims of the attack at the Pulse nightclub in the United States as well as with Sydney’s LGBT community who, along with LGBT people the world over, feel a particular horror at the events which unfolded overnight.
