We would not have believed it if we didn’t see it with our own eyes!!! There was a big table with Gay & Lesbians at it. On the front end facing the stage was a bronzed box. When Esme asked “What’s up with this box?” The group replied “in side are the remains of our two Moms.” The two ladies were lesbians and the people at the table were their children. They were taking their two Moms out to show them GaYBOR. This was their last party together in Tampa. The next stop was New York to spread the remains out together.
