The bill signing ceremony was set to take place less than a week after the House of Representatives voted 303 to 115 to approve a Senate-passed version of the legislation, which reauthorizes the highly popular U.S. foreign aid program known as the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The Senate passed the bill one week earlier by a vote of 80 to 16. Read More

Tagged and Targeted - Prevalence of anti-gay incidents alarm residents
The television news crews are long gone from the 2800 block of NW 7th Avenue in Wilton Manors, and most traces of the anti-gay epithets that were sprayed in black paint on houses and cars there are washed away or painted over. But one week after vandals tagged three homes in this quiet corner of Broward County’s gay-friendly suburb by spraying the words “Gay”, “Faggot”, and “Fag,” unsettling questions remain.  Should Broward’s gay community be concerned about growing intolerance, or is it appropriate to dismiss the incident as a meaningless act of delinquency?

Mayor Matti Bower: South Florida's Favorite Fag Hag
Wikipedia defines ‘Fag Hag’ as a slang term for a woman who is best or good friends with a gay man or men. Using this definition when labeling the Mayor of Miami Beach a fag hag is not really a stretch, nor an offense, as the Miami Beach LGBT community has no greater friend and no stronger ally than Her Honor, Mayor Matti Herrera Bower.  It has been 40 years since the Stonewall Street riots launched the gay liberation movement and during this time span almost every gay destination city in the world has hosted gay pride events to commemorate the local gay community and peacefully demonstrate the need for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality (LGBT).  Yet Miami Beach, long considered a ‘must visit’ destination for international gay travelers, has never held a city sanctioned pride event.  Read more at GaySoFla.com
