According to NewNowNext, a homophobic protester has been arrested at the site of the memorial at the Orlando Pulse nightclub as mourners gathered to commemorate the year anniversary of the shootings there last summer.
The man, who has not been identified, was one of three protesters at the memorial, and NewNowNext noted that they were holding signs with anti-gay slogans like "Sin = Death" and "Warning: All homos will burn like f*ggots in hell."
At the scene, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said "we are not here to relive the horror of that day."
