Rick Scott, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Senator Marco Rubio and Rep. John Mica, flew into town and offered, at most, only meaningless on-camera platitudes to the LGBT community. They have the power to end discrimination against the LGBT community, and to help end hate - If they so choose. yt:video:UDIHB6CgeDQ UDIHB6CgeDQ UCoHBnbfHTwwVRlPGeRNo2sg Studio3V https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoHBnbfHTwwVRlPGeRNo2sg 2016-02-10T15:00:34+00:00 2016-09-30T21:39:09+00:00 The Real Mayor of Palm Bay (and why the HRO died) On Feb. 4, 2016 the Palm Bay City Council (Brevard County FL) voted 4-1 against an inclusive Human Rights Ordinance opting instead to preserve the right to discriminate against LGBT citizens in employment and public accommodations.

(Trailer for 37 min. documentary) When Orlando Weekly writer, Billy Manes, lost his partner, Alan, he nearly lost everything he owned to homophobic "in-laws" who swept in to claim Alan's body and his earthly possessions.

For gay couples in the still unequal South, what happened to Billy Manes is all too common. Can it happen to you? Produced & Directed by Vicki Nantz.

That discriminatory ban would be enforced for 33 years until foster dad, Martin Gill, and the ACLU prevailed over the state-sanctioned anti-gay bigotry. And yet Florida still discriminates against the LGBT community. When will our culture and government end the destructive politics of anti-gay intolerance?
