"Don't you dare even listen to even ONE person who may insinuate that somehow this is your loved ones fault because they were gay or any other reason," Greene and Mrquez-Greene wrote on Facebook. "Nor is it God's wrathThey did that to us on Sandy Hook- too. And it broke my heart.", , The Orlando nightclub attack, in which 49 victims were killed, was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
