#LoveIsLove #twomenkissing #OrlandoStrong pic.twitter.com/bu8CopiZB1 — Daniel MacKinnon (@mrdmack) June 13, 2016The hashtag #TwoMenKissing, as well as #GaysBreakTheInternet, trended on Twitter, with people showing solidarity to the friends, family and loved in Orlando, and the LGBTQ community worldwide. Petosky, a transgender woman who earned notoriety last year after taking to the social media platform following an incident with Transportation Security Administration - agents stopped her because of an "anomaly" in an X-ray scan image - lost followers as a result of uploading the original #TwoMenKissing tweet.
I lost about 200 followers after posting photos of #twomenkissing. So now I'm just responding to egg avatars with that. — Shadi Petosky (@shadipetosky) June 12, 2016The perfect response.
