LGBT History in Mexico
Mexican LGBTQ activists just made history with the largest human Pride flag ever in Mexico City! 🌈✊ Thousands came together, standing shoulder to shoulder, turning a vision of love, visibility, and solidarity into a breathtaking reality. This isn’t just a flag—it’s a powerful statement: unity is strength, representation matters, and pride is unstoppable. Moments like these show that courage, community, and celebration can move mountains—and inspire the world.

Opening on the Barrio Latino Commission
Hey, Historic Ybor Residents! There’s an opening on the Barrio Latino Commission just waiting for you. Have you ever asked yourself, “how did that get approved for construction!?” well, now you can find out and help steer the future of Ybor. You may be thinking, “Do I have to be an architect? No, this seat is for Historic Ybor residents, and meetings are only about once a month.In case you don’t know what the BLC is, it’s the volunteer board that reviews all applications for what’s called a Certificate of Appropriateness. You have to have a C.A. before you can apply for a building permit. “But what if I am an architect that loves Ybor but I don’t live in the historic district?” Good news! There’s an open seat for you too! Come use those fancy words like “fenestration” and “muntin” and “vernacular”. https://www.facebook.com/groups/263962949694/
