THE AMSTERDAM RAINBOW DRESS VISITS AUSTRALIA

The monumental Amsterdam Rainbow Dress artwork has made its first visit to Australia to shine a light on the human rights issues affecting the global LGBTQIA+ community, ahead of the Sydney WorldPride Human Rights Conference in March 2023.

Created in the Netherlands by Mattijs van Bergen, Arnout van Krimpen, Jochem Kaan and Oeri van Woezik, the dress is made from the national flags of the 71 countries where it is still illegal to be LGBTQI+ on penalty of imprisonment, torture or death. https://www.amsterdamrainbowdress.com/

Miss Tampa Pride 2023 Hazel Ember Genevieve

THIS FRIDAY & Saturday at Southern Nights Ybor City

Across the Universe (2007)

At a Tampa Pride meeting a group of us were talking about our all-time favorite movie. John said “Across the Universe”. I had forgotten how good this was. It is a story put to the Beatles Music. We are planning on watching again soon.  Now on HBO

The Big Gay Radio Show

YES TAMPA

After much controversy.  The Kolter Urban has redesigned the facades of ONE Tampa to reflect the 1920s building currently on the site so its 55-story condo tower can move forward

Meet Two Tampa Pride Super Stars

April Cormier

April is an unsung hero. She is in charge of Special Events in Tampa. Every year April works hard on the logistics of all the city’s major events including Tampa Pride Festival and Parade. There are dozens of City groups like Police, Fire, Garbage, Traffic, Parks and more that she effortlessly coordinates together.  Thank you, April!!!!

Tiffany Bolt

Tampa Pride and The Cuban Club are so very lucky to have Tiffany!!! She is like the Den Mother to a group of wild kids. Keeping us all together and on track at the Cuban Club.  Behind the scenes at “Tampa Pride at Night” there is always something that comes up. Tiffany is the person who reminds me of a Duck floating on the water. To all of us she is very cool, smiling and floating. Below the water her feet are moving so fast. This way and that way to make everything look so smooth and graceful. Big (((HUGS)) to our Tiffany!

The C House

Every month we like to try a new restaurant on date night. This past week we visited the C House https://www.facebook.com/the.c.house.tampa .  Our good friends Chris and Jim have been raving about this place. Everything here on the menu begins with a “C”.  My Carrie’s name begins with a C too. No he is not on the menu you naughty kids!!! LMAO Originally it was for Champagne, Charcuterie & Cheese Cake. At Happy Hour they have a Charcuterie Board for $14. It really would have been enough for us but we added Canadian French Fries and Crusted Ahi Tuna. It was date night so YES we had the homemade Cheese Cake. OMG it was SO HUGE and the Best we ever had. We both agreed it would be fun to stop for a glass of wine and share a slice of Cheese Cake!!!! BUT the BEST PART and to our Surprise Stone Pilkenton is a manager here!!!! Stone has worked for many years in Ybor City and is a favorite of all of us!  Congratulations Stone. The C House is lucky to have you.  We will be back soon!!!!
