The Eiffel Tower lit up in rainbow colors for the second night in a row in honor of the people who were brutally gunned down at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida on Sunday.
The tower was lit up on Sunday night in a rainbow scheme to show that Paris stands in solidarity with Orlando.

Paris was the site of two horrific terrorist attacks in recent years, first the Charlie Hebdo attack in January 2015 and the multi-pronged attack on the city in November of that year which included an attack on the Bataclan theatre.
