The 18-minute tribute was co-directed by Ryan Murphy and Ned Martel.

“The hate that stole these 49 individuals from all those who loved them has been allowed to flourish in our country for too long,” Ryan said in a statement quoted by Entertainment Weekly. 

“No person is born hating another, and we have an obligation as Americans to stand up against prejudice and bigotry that would incite violence against someone simply for who they are. I am proud to have joined with Ned Martel, my talented colleagues, and the Human Rights Campaign to honor these 49 heroes and stop the hate.” – Rappler.com
