So I have quite the few followers because I just to post a lot about my car, granted that means I have a lot of male followers on there and I reposted my girlfriends post about her gym gains cause she’s a major gym girlie & im gonna support her journey like duh? That’s my girl. And this nasty balding dude sends me a picture of him at the gym talking about “If you want someone with real muscles, get yourself a man like this and get over your lesbo phase”

….

ARE MEN OKAY?!?!

Anyway long story short, I sent the screenshot of all that to his girlfriend and sister who he had tagged in his page 🤗

What's living in Florida like as a lesbian? Most (liberal) people I talk to balk when I say I'm considering moving there because they all think it's populated exclusively by bigoted swamp creatures, but I don't want to listen to stereotapes from people who've never lived there. I know what the politics are like there, but what about day-to-day living/homophobia?

I tell people this CONSTANTLY but nobody seems to grasp it: while Florida has very red areas (every state does), especially rurally and in the panhandle (which shouldn't even be part of FL imho), all of the actual cities (like Tampa, St. Pete, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale) are very much blue and pretty fun to live in. they also all have LGBT+ (ofc the + is everywhere now) events and communities and parts of town etc. I love it here and have had practically zero issues being an extremely gnc lesbian here, except when I lived in Sarasota (red town with a lot of money - sucks ass) and got legally fired for being gay back in early 2020. that could've happened in a red town almost anywhere before it was illegal.

I've even had really fun, awesome experiences chatting (about what it's like to be a lesbian) with conservative white dudes in their gun store - more than once! actually if I'm being completely honest, I've had fewer sexist and homophobic experiences with conservative men in the past few years than with liberals. and yes, pretty much all the negative experiences with liberals were an obvious product of gender identity ideology. it's just so incredibly disappointing that I can reasonably expect a random conservative male I run into in the wild to be more normal about female homosexuality (including butchness!) than a liberal of either sex I run into in the wild. how the FUCK did that happen? I hate it here lmao

Florida quietly removes LGBTQ+ travel info from state website

FILE - Hundreds of people line Central Avenue and cheer during the 10th Annual St. Pete Pride Street Festival & Promenade in St. Petersburg, Fla. on June 30, 2012.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors and St. Petersburg are among several Florida cities that have long been top U.S. destinations for LGBTQ+ tourists. So it came as a surprise this week when travelers learned that Florida's tourism marketing agency quietly removed the “LGBTQ Travel” section from its website sometime in the past few months.

Business owners who cater to Florida's LGBTQ+ tourists said Wednesday that it marked the latest attempt by officials in the state to erase the LGBTQ+ community. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis previously championed a bill to forbid classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, and supported a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, as well as a law meant to keep children out of drag shows.

“It's just disgusting to see this,” said Keith Blackburn, who heads the Greater Fort Lauderdale LGBT Chamber of Commerce. “They seem to want to erase us.”

The change to Visit Florida's website was first reported by NBC News, which noted a search query still pulls up some listings for LGBTQ+-friendly places despite the elimination of the section.

John Lai, who chairs Visit Florida's board, didn't respond to an email seeking comment Tuesday. Dana Young, Visit Florida's CEO and president, didn't respond to a voicemail message Wednesday, and neither did the agency's public relations director.

Visit Florida is a public-private partnership between the state of Florida and the state's tourism industry. The state contributes about $50 million each year to the quasi-public agency from two tourism and economic development funds.

Florida is one of the most popular states in the U.S. for tourists, and tourism is one of its biggest industries. Nearly 141 million tourists visited Florida in 2023, with out-of-state visitors contributing more than $102 billion to Florida’s economy.

Before the change, the LGBTQ+ section on Visit Florida's website had read, “There’s a sense of freedom to Florida’s beaches, the warm weather and the myriad activities — a draw for people of all orientations, but especially appealing to a gay community looking for a sense of belonging and acceptance.”

Blackburn said the change and other anti-LGBTQ+ policies out of Tallahassee make it more difficult for him to promote South Florida tourism since he encounters prospective travelers or travel promoters who say they don't want to do business in the state.

Last year, for instance, several civil rights groups issued a travel advisory for Florida, saying that policies championed by DeSantis and Florida lawmakers are “openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals.”

But visitors should also understand that many Florida cities are extremely inclusive, with gay elected officials and LGBTQ+-owned businesses, and they don't reflect the policies coming from state government, Blackburn added.

“It’s difficult when these kinds of stories come out, and the state does these things, and we hear people calling for a boycott,” Blackburn said. “On one level, it’s embarrassing to have to explain why people should come to South Florida and our destination when the state is doing these things.”

Broward County tourism officials say that financial losses are continuing to mount as conventions once scheduled for Fort Lauderdale have opted to go someplace else. The tally now stands at 14, with four of those conventions backing out in August alone, according to Visit Lauderdale, the agency formerly known as the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. They cite Florida’s culture wars on issues that critics say attack Blacks, gays, and transgender youth, as well as policies targeting state universities as well as migrants. Broward’s tourism arm said the lost conventions could have brought hotel stays to Fort Lauderdale and its surrounding cities, which also meant money spent on restaurants and attractions. On the updated list now includes the National Sales Network Conference, whose founder and CEO emailed the county Monday: “Moving forward, we will not consider conducting any future conferences in the state of Florida given the Governor’s statement that slavery was good for Black people.” And the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology wasn’t planning its annual convention until 2028, but backed out last week, citing in an email: “At the moment, we aren’t able to consider any Florida cities because of the political issues around women’s health and the added challenges with higher education there.”

Kliph Nesteroff: Do you know who Ray Bourbon is? Woody Woodbury: Yes! Bourbon was a gay comic. He worked down here in Fort Lauderdale. I only saw him once or twice. There was also a place he worked in Miami called The Jewel Box. That was, of course, what they called in those days a queer nightclub. Nobody thought anything about it and very few [straight] people went to it. I guess because it was a stigma on you if you were seen going to it. But we showbiz people, we'd go... We used to go watch him. Ray Bourbon. I haven't heard that name in a long time. A homosexual comedian back in the 1950s. He did some cross dressing comedy and was very much a visual act.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — South Florida prosecutors dropped criminal charges on Tuesday against a couple and their adult son who had been accused of severely beating a man who had been in a relationship with the son.

Yevhen Makarenko, his wife, Inna, and their son Oleh had each been charged with attempted murder, burglary and kidnapping in the August 2021 beating, the Sun Sentinel reported. Prosecutors had filed hate crime charges against them in April 2022.

Broward County Assistant State Attorney Veronica Walker wrote in a memorandum outlining the decision not to prosecute that a crime appears to have been committed, but there is no likelihood of conviction.

Defense attorney George Palaidis said the Makarenkos were at home when the attack occurred, as prosecutors acknowledged that cellphone records failed to place the family at the crime scene.

Deputies found the victim at his Pompano Beach home in August 2021, officials said. He initially told detectives that he fell down while drinking alcohol but later said that he had been beaten by Oleh Makarenko and his family.

Investigators learned that the victim and Oleh Makarenko had been dating for several months when his parents found out about the relationship and disapproved. But prosecutors said they were unable to corroborate significant portions of the victim’s account.

Top Nude Beaches in Florida

Top Nude Beaches in Florida https://ift.tt/bnkoAPp Top Nude Beaches in Florida By Carlos Harrison It seems fitting that the Sunshine State would be a magnet for sun worshipers from around the world. Florida is much more than just a place for naturists to gather, says Ramon Maury, naturist industry representative and voice in Tallahassee. “We are privileged to have some of the best beaches in the world, attracting family-centric visitors seeking their little piece of paradise.” “Pasco County is actually known as the nudist capital of the world,” says Ralph Collinson, former president of the American Association for Nude Recreation, Florida Region. Pasco, the semi-rural west coast patch just north of Tampa and St. Petersburg, boasts some two dozen nudist resorts and clubs within 90 minutes of Orlando or Tampa, some also surrounded by clothing-optional housing communities. But Pasco is hardly alone in offering a range of naturist-friendly attractions and activities. Resorts across the state offer no-clothes swimming pools; lakes for paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing; tennis, horseback riding, hiking; and pétanque, a French-Canadian variation of bocce ball. And, naturally, there’s the main attraction for those who relish the feel of the sun’s rays on their bare skin – Florida’s nearly year-round sunshine and inviting weather. Here are just a few clothing-optional beaches: Haulover Beach Haulover may very well be the pearl of Florida’s nude beaches. It’s certainly the best-known and oldest officially recognized public one. It sits on a welcoming wide strip of sand north of Bal Harbour, centrally located between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and is ranked regularly among the Top 10 nude beaches in the world. It’s family friendly, with plenty of parking, restrooms within convenient walking distance, and the Atlantic Ocean, of course, lapping gently at its shore. “This is a place where you can go and feel like you’re part of a community,” says Shirley Mason, the driving force behind creating a clothing-optional beach in Miami. “I chose a place where I could go and feel safe with my daughter.” Haulover is also very popular with gay naturists from around the globe, says Seth Paronick, a member of the board of governors of the B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation Institute. His advice: “Come, stay at a clothing-optional guesthouse in Fort Lauderdale. Enjoy Haulover by day and the gay nightlife in Fort Lauderdale.” You can learn more about Haulover, and the do’s and don’ts at the nude section of the beach, by visiting the information booth near lifeguard station #15 or by asking a Haulover Beach Ambassador.  Blind Creek Beach This clothing-optional beach is located on Hutchinson Island, situated between Fort Pierce and Jensen Beach on Florida’s Treasure Coast. Although casual nude use has a long history at this remote, primitive and pristine beach, it now has legal status. You can learn more about Blind Creek here.

my friend and i just invented a dexter scene:

dexter morgan would read sfgn while being cishet right ok. angel batista would say "hey dex what are you doing reading south florida gay news? you gay or something?" joking around putting a hand on his shoulder right yeah. dexter would give his dumb awkward side smile and go "no actually i'm straight." angel would laugh and vince masuoka would say "wait, wait i- i think he's serious." and they'd both look at dexter. he'd shrug. then after a second vince would look to angel and say, "hey, wait. how come you knew what sfgn stands for?" and immediately dexter would notice something out of the corner of his eye and have an edgy internal monologue focusing on it as the audio drowned out vince and angel talking incoherently. it'd pan back to dexter's face and he'd turn back and say, "hey, i'm gonna take thirty for lunch" and vince would say "yeah and batista's gonna take thirty-" and dexter would smile and scoff and walk out while his edgy internal monologue played again this time over angel saying "hey i got friends in fort lauderdale" and vince sayong "yeah? what kinda friends?" and a shot of dexter in the closing elevator.

Book 3 in The Bar None Dude Ranch gay romance series.

"Chris is looking for a change. His life has stagnated, and his love life is virtually nonexistent. He’s grown bored with life in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The guys he’s interested in are all moving out of town, being replaced by younger, slimmer versions that do nothing for his libido. One night, on a rare occasion that he goes to a gay bar, Chris happens to notice a stack of business flyers near the door, advertising a once-in-a-lifetime getaway to a recreation of an old west town that’s only for gay men. His interest piqued, he researches the place on the internet and makes his plans to go to The Bar None Dude Ranch.

Mac McEnroe is a twenty-something who longs to meet someone older and more worldly-wise. His job as a courier doesn’t pay well and the working conditions aren’t great, but he’s saved enough money for a trip from St. Paul down to Houston, where he’s heard there is a treasure trove of men waiting to be discovered at, of all places, a dude ranch. For a young confused bisexual, Mac wants affirmation that his life is worth something. He’s not finding it in his girlfriend Maggie’s arms, so he thinks that maybe he’ll find it at the Ranch."

Explicit adult situations, some language.
