Florida's official tourism site removes 'LGBTQ Travel' section
Florida’s official tourism website quietly removed a landing page for the state’s LGBTQ-friendly travel destinations sometime in the past four months.
The website for the state’s tourism marketing corporation, VisitFlorida.com, had an “LGBTQ Travel” section that no longer exists, according to archived versions of the site viewable on the Internet Archive. The landing page previously featured blog posts and videos related to the state’s gay-friendly beaches, Pride events and LGBTQ road trip ideas.
“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,” the landing page used to read. “Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic getaway or a modern family searching for kid-friendly fun, here are some LGBTQ-friendly destinations for you, throughout the Sunshine State.”
It's always amazing to me when Republicans pick bigotry over profits. They pick profits over family, friends, lives, environment, religion, you name it - feels like profits are king. And then they pull shit like this, and I'm just astonished at how much cruelty reigns supreme.
Happens all the time. Starbucks chose to close profitable locations instead of letting them unionize. If I was a substantial stockholder in these types of companies, I'd want their board on a platter.
That’s a surprising and insightful comment. I never really thought about it, but you’re absolutely right.
LOL, see my post above about Memorial Day weekend. You won't hear a single anti gay sentiment. (And you won't the rest of the year either.)
If you want someone to see a different post than yours, you will have to link it. The posts are in a constantly changing order, "above" doesn't mean anything.
No, I will not.
