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.”
Maybe they simply don’t have any lqbt friendly places? That would actually not be that hard to believe :D

True, but it might become illegal not to be cishet there even before that happens.
What will win the race? Republican bigotry or Republican science denial?
May their birthday cakes be as bland as their souls.
I have a lot of openly gay friends at Fernandina.
Come to Pensacola Beach for Memorial Day weekend, every LGBT person in the South is partying down. A truly gay event in both senses of the word. We’re not talking about a few thousand people, think tens of thousands.

Best part is that despite being the most conservative part of the state, suddenly the rainbow flags fly and we love gay people! The annual tsunami of cash may have something to do with that.
On a serious note, no one really gives a shit about homosexuality down here. Notice how the hate pivoted to trans folks and drag queens? The gay hate lost all traction.
