JTA lit the Acosta Bridge in rainbow colors for Pride. A day later, it changed it back

New LGBT Bar Opens

Recently MY BAR TAMPA Opened. https://www.facebook.com/groups/131425633601427 Located at 3414 Orient Road in Tampa. It is about 5 minutes from Ybor City. You just head east on 7^th Ave until you reach Orient Road. Here turn left and it will be on your left side. The night we visited the staff was very friendly and fun. It’s a cozy neighborhood bar with a pool tables and dance floor. Outside is a covered patio where we spied a BBQ. This Saturday night Miss Joey Brooks will be hosting the 11:30PM Show!!! My Bar Tampa is a beer and wine only and they do not accept credit cards.

Split level homes are very comment in Wisconsin where we are from. You enter the front door and walk down a few steps into a ½ basement or up steps into the main living area. This week our born and raised in Florida, great niece, 5 years old, went to Wisconsin to visit her Aunts. In a very excited facetime calls she told us….. You are not going to believe this!!!! Aunt Linda actually has a kitchen on her 2^nd floor!!! I’m not kidding!!! This is really CRAZY!!! Both of us are still laughing.

WTF – What The Florida

Once again Florida is the national news and not in a good way. Governor Death desantis, on the 1^st day of National LGBT Pride month signed anti LGBT bills. Then the next day strips ALL LGBT Funding from the Florida budget. That included $150,000 for the LGBT+ Center Orlando. The money was earmarked for the Orlando United Assistance Center, which provides mental health services for survivors of the 2016 mass shooting at the city’s Pulse nightclub. Read the whole story in The Advocate.
