GO Nancy & John Desmond 

2 of the most iconic people in Ybor City are Nancy & Joh Desmond. The  bible bangers are on the street preaching hate, Nancy & John simple hold their sign “We Love Our Gay Son” . How with their own wonderful sense of humor the 2 have done something FABOULOUS. On the corner in front to 711 right where the haters stand they have had a Ybor Paver put in place. LMAO LMAO LMAO people are not stopping with chalk and circling the paver!!!

Wilton Manors ROCKS!!

Magical PRIDE at Disneyland Paris

It’s just amazing to think that 100 years ago people left Europe for a better life in American.  Now the better life is in Europe.  LGBT is not an issue in Europe. Sadly here it still is very much.

Go to 19:50 on this video. What do you think? We were at the meeting. When Holt started to speak he put up a slide show and left it up the entire time we was speaking. His face and the faces of the county commissioners were never shown on public TV. Thank you ABC Action News for bring this to the public.

Here is the FACE of HATE – Holt after he finished speaking.
