Lady Gaga spoke at Los Angeles' vigil for victims of the Orlando shooting at Pulse nightclub, honoring those lost in what was just as much a hate crime as it was an act of terror.

"I know that you all have been feeling a tremendous range of emotions since we've all heard about this horrible, hateful attack on Orlando, and on your, and our community," she said. "As we have now witnessed the largest mass shooting in American history, I can't help but feel that this level of hatred, like all prejudicial crimes, this is an attack on humanity itself. This is an attack on everyone. Tonight I gather humbly with you, as a human being, in peace and sincerity, in commitment and solidarity, to take a real moment and mourn the tragic loss of these innocent, beautiful people. Let's all today pledge an allegiance of love to them and their families who are suffering so deeply."

The star held back tears as she told the LGBTQA community that they're not facing this alone. 

"I will not allow my anger and outrage over this attack to overshadow our need to honor those who are grieving truly for their lost ones," she continued. "Lost members of the LGBT community. I hope you know that myself and so many are your allies. Not only me, but everyone here, we represent the compassion and the loyalty of millions of people around the world that believe in you. You are not alone. You are not alone. Tomorrow, I hope that we all race thoughtfully and loudly towards solutions. But tonight, and right now, Orlando, we are united with you. And we are here to remember."
