How about the Memorial at the Oklahoma City site where a domestic terrorist hoping to inspire the overthrow of the government killed people who just were in the wrong place.
Lots of Federal, State and Local dollars spent at those sites, and so many more. No complaints from you about that? Oh, most of those victims weren't gay.

Way off base with this comment. The problem that was pointed out was that a lot of money was collected and a lot of money was spent but there is no monument or museum to show for it.
The city will own two pieces of property: the land where the museum was to be built and the building where the shooting occurred.
The owner of the nightclub will have $2M if she sells the property plus over half a million in salary from her time with the OPF.
The families of the victims have plans and promises but no memorial.
