The Houston City Hall was illuminated in rainbow colors Sunday night, joining other parts of the world in recognizing the mass shooting that occurred at a gay nightclub in Orlando. Houstonians gathered in the city Sunday night to rally for protection for LGBT people worldwide.



World landmarks from the One World Trade Center to the Sydney Harbour Bridge lit up to memorialize the 49 people killed and more than 50 injured in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. The Orlando Eye, a large Ferris wheel, also took on a multi-color glow near the site of the attack.

Memorials in Houston continued Monday as mourners held a vigil for victims of the attack.
