SCRANTON -- An event at a Jewish temple in Scranton Friday to show support for the LGBT community took on new meaning after the Orlando tragedy.

"Love is stronger than hate" was the message that came from what was called the LGBT Pride Shabbat at Temple Hesed on Knox Road in Scranton.

It was planned before 49 people were killed at a gay club Sunday in Orlando.

It took on new importance as a chance for people of all faiths to come together and promote hope and seek consolation.

Senator Bob Casey was among those at the event in Scranton.
