Gov. Andrew Cuomo says New York will honor the 49 victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting with a monument.
Cuomo announced the LGBT Memorial Commission just before the start of the annual gay pride parade down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
The 10-member commission will come up with recommendations on the design of the memorial and the specific location by year's end.
The site has been narrowed down to either Battery Park City in view of the Statue of Liberty or at Piers on the western edge of Greenwich Village.
Cuomo says the memorial will ot only honor the Olrando victims, but also all victims of hate, intolerance and intolerance.
