One week ago, the gay community was shattered by that massacre in Orlando that killed 49 people. All this week, NY1 will look at the challenges the LGBT community continues to face, and how the shooting has many on edge. Our Michael Scotto begins our coverage with how the shooting has many on edge.

In the aftermath of the massacre in Orlando, at-risk youth coming to terms with their sexuality have been frightened and scared.

"I've had a few of them saying that this was their own 9/11, in terms of something that feels so devastating, so catastrophic, so mortal, in terms of their community, their own personal safety," said Thomas Krever, CEO of the Hetrick-Martin Institute.

At the New Yew York City Anti-Violence Project, a group that helps members of the LGBT community, people have been calling in looking for comfort.

The shooting rampage, which killed dozens of people — the majority of them Latino, underscores the hatred still directed at gays, lesbians and transgender people.

In fact, a new report by the Anti-Violence Project shows that in New York City, more people called the group last year than in 2014 to report violence, with the majority of the calls coming from blacks and Latinos.

It's unclear whether the uptick is due to more people being attacked or deciding to come out of the shadows.

"Unfortunately people are still to this day having to be afraid to be who they are, to walk down the street," said Beverly Tillery, Executive Director of the New York City Anti-Violence Project.

That fear, compounded by the Orlando rampage, comes one year after the community was celebrating a huge victory: the legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide.

Outside the Stonewall Inn, the mood is somber as people continue to come by and remember those who were killed. For many, the scene is overwhelming.

Police officers were stationed across the street to look out for people’s safety. The owner of the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the nation's gay rights movement, says the LGBT community should not be intimidated by terrorists, though.

"I haven't seen too much fear, and again, I think the message and the takeaway from all of this is that love wins," said Stacy Lentz, co-owner of The Stonewall Inn. "We need to make sure that we don't live in fear."

The community is trying once again to show its resilience.
