Jack Lawrence (MTMTE/Lost Light Artist) is compiling a list of people providing safe spaces at the upcoming TFCon in Orlando, Florida, due to the current political and social climate against LGBTQIA+ people in the state.

A lot of people invest in conventions and not everyone can afford to cancel, so this is a hugely important thing and it's awesome that he's doing it, which is why I'm sharing it here.

If anyone might be attending TFCon in Orlando, please be extremely cautious and use Jack's list to know who you can go to and where you can go at the event if you feel like you might need a safe place.

I'm hoping TFCon won't be holding any events in Florida next year (or ideally ever again), but this year things were arranged well in advance before things dropped off a cliff legislatively in FL, so everyone involved got screwed this time around.

I'm from Florida myself, unfortunately, and I don't advise ANYONE to travel there for any reasons whatsoever. It is extremely dangerous, and it was never a good place to begin with. It is a hellhole.

For those who don't have a choice, for example those who financially need to attend to make back merch/print costs etc., I truly do feel for you. Please, please be safe. <3

TFCon Orlando is also offering refunds to any LGBTQIA+ ticket holders who do not feel safe attending due to the location.

This is extremely cool of them to do, and if anyone planned to attend but no longer feels safe doing so, please contact them (details at the link above) and get a refund sorted out.

I want everyone to be safe, and don't feel bad if you either have to get a refund or if you feel like you have to attend. Either way, just be safe, and make the safest decision for you. <3

EDIT: Here is the Equality Florida Advisory Warning for Travel.

It is not advised to travel to Florida. It is not safe.

Please, if you must attend, be extremely cautious.

[Photo ID: White box with rainbow border. Text reads: 'Statement on DMV Policy Change. LGBTQ+ advocates from around the state organized and mobilized in great numbers this past legislative session. Through actions like protests, letter-writings, die-ins, and more, we defeated 21 out of 22 anti-LGBTQ+ bills attempting to move through the Florida legislature. One of these bills, HB 1639, sponsored by local representative Doug Bankson, was particularly egregious. It sought to redefine "sex" in a way that excludes transgender, non-binary, and intersex people, and to prohibit a person's state identification documents from reflecting their gender identity. As the bill was heading towards its downfall in the legislature, the Deputy Executive Director, Robert Kynoch, of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) released a memo to county tax collectors in late January rescinding previous department policy (IR08 - Gender Requirements), which allowed for Florida residents to change the gender marker on their ID to accurately reflect their gender identity. The memo wrongly excludes gender identity from "sex" in an effort to subvert the democratic process to redefine sex - and prohibit gender marker amendments - absent legislative authority. In a similar way, the legislature continued its attacks on the rights of immigrants and people experiencing homelessness in the form of HB 1451. This bill, which passed and was signed into law by DeSantis, restricts the acceptance of community IDs issued by community organizations to immigrants and individuals experiencing homelessness. Community IDs are essential for demonstrating that a person is a resident and member of a given community. It is already tremendously difficult for these groups to acquire valid identification, and this law imposes yet another barrier to identification.' /End ID]

[Photo ID: White box with rainbow border. Text reads: 'Statement on DMV Policy Change. Accurate identification is a human right; we must demand access to legal authenticity for all. Advocates for transgender individuals, immigrants, and people experiencing homelessness must stand together in the fight for equitable access to accurate identification. We demand that the FLHSMV restore their previous IR08-Gender Requirements policy to ensure that transgender people can obtain accurate IDs. Furthermore, we demand that legislatures take action to protect trans people's ability to obtain accurate identification as well as protect the acceptance of community IDs. Join us for a rally and press conference at SPEKTRUM Health (5205 South Orange Avenue) on May 6th at 4:30pm! WE CANNOT LET THEM TAKE US ONE STEP BACK!

Sonic symphony was fun if I ignore the fact that my parents were with us and being absolute killjoys

Had a blast singing along to the songs, watching the video presentations for the orchestral movements (two new ones were added for our showing!!!) and just being there. Wish I could repeat the experience but change a couple of *ahem* details but alas, I think I should prioritize getting my own place instead

Bonuses:

Nobody was able to see my cool socks :(

He admittedly felt weird about entering Orlando's apartment with the key given to him by Eva back at the mixer event but he figured the man wouldn't take it the wrong way when he explained everything. Besides he'd spent a good amount of time at his place when he was in recovery so hopefully it wouldn't be too bizarre. Cyrus made his way towards the man's office, careful to knock on the door and make sure he wasn't interrupting anything before poking his head in. "Hey. I've been recruited to come and drag you out to the Valentine's party tonight," he informed him with a smile. "Something about you working too hard?"
