The LGBTQ community was left reeling after a gunman killed 49 people at an Orlando gay club in the early morning hours of June 12. The shooter, Omar Mateen, also died in the attack, which was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

“Doesn’t matter who you love, all that matters is your love,” say the lyrics of Hands.

“I’ve been watching news, seeing all this hate. Tell me is it wrong to want a little change?”

“The horrific attack on the LGBT community in Orlando has left us devastated, but not defeated,” said GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement.

“We stand resolved in paying tribute to their memory, supporting the victims and families, and working together to achieve full acceptance once and for all.”

Proceeds from the song will benefit Equality Florida, GLAAD and the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida.
