The father of the Orlando shooter said his son may have been motivated to attack the Pulse gay bar in response to the sight of two men kissing a few months beforehand.

In response, gay and bisexual men took to Twitter and Instagram with public displays of affection, urging others to "break the internet" with same-sex love and "flood the world with pics" using the hashtag #TwoMenKissing.

Here is just a sampling of photos from the movement.

Nos unimos para que el hashtag #TwoMenKissing sea en esta jornada TT. No mas personas odiando a otros solo por ser distintos en su forma de amar. Mas amor, menos violencia.

Just wanted to thank Dove Men Plus Care for including our family in their Fathers Day tribute commercial. I will not let homophobia prevent me from enjoying my family. #TwoMenKissing is beautiful. #LoveIsLove #FathersDay #Pride

Life, love and liberation Aqui no hay espacio para otra cosa que no sea querer. Asi que mucho cuidado porque mientras nos bebemos las lagrimas por las vidas perdidas nuestra respuesta siempre sera el amor. #twomenkissing #twowomenkissing #twopeoplekissing o bueno el hashtag donde todxs nos besemos y desde donde nuestro intercambio de labios, lenguas, cachetes y mordidas descubramos la equidad y el amor que ha de construir el mundo que todxs anhelamos.
