A majority of fair-minded people do not realize that, in most of Florida, a gay person can be legally:

Fired,
Denied housing as a renter or homeowner,
Asked to leave a restaurant, and
Denied a hotel room with their partner.

The above taken from Equality Florida’s website. Things that are now illegal in my state Maryland like the above are apparently well and alive in Florida.

Still want to go to severe sunburn state?

Nick,

The power of large numbers of gay people not being harnessed to affect change?

I don’t want to know a community not willing to guard its own best interests and its own rights. That has finished me off, After reading that, Nick, I feel even less like coming to Florida.

Unfortunately only 15,000 were cast in the Fort Lauderdale election. At the same time, very low funding was reported. More gay people need to wake up and get involved.

I live in Ft. Lauderdale and I can not believe how so little people voted (only a 10 or 30% turn out in some districts). Hopefully Sieler will run the city to everyone’s best interest. I also hope he is tolerant to all diversity.

Is Seller going to continue a Naugle-style tyranny against the gay community of Ft. Lauderdale?
Amazing with such a large gay community in that area that Naugle oouldn’t be replaced by a gay mayor or a gay-friendly one. Anyone chosen by Naugle is likely someone very much like him in “leadership” style.

Brace yourselves, FL. gay community!
