gay-events-south-florida-2As you probably know by now, everyone is thrilled with the Senate passage of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ repeal bill on Sunday. When full repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is implemented, the LGBT community will move one step closer to equal rights for all Americans.

Once again this Holiday Season, the Ft. Lauderdale Leather Community came together in celebration and support for those less fortunate. The Ramrod Bar, Rich Rodriguez – Mr. Ramrod 2010, the South Florida Boys of Leather and Todd Storey – Mr. Ft. Lauderdale Rubber 2011 hosted the 2nd annual Canned Food Drive on November 20 and the 4th annual Holiday toy drive on December 11. Over $3,000 worth of food, toys and cash were collected for The Children’s Diagnostics and Treatment Center and Kids In Distress.

From Pride of Greater Fort Lauderdale

“The Board of Directors of Stonewall Pride, Inc. (d.b.a. Pride of Greater Fort Lauderdale) voted on December 2, to cease operations at the end of its fiscal year, December 31. The decision to close down the organization was due to the loss of over $30,000 at this past June’s Stonewall Street Festival and Parade on Wilton Drive. Nearly a third of the money owed from the event has been paid to their creditors. There no longer appears to be any way of raising any more money. The remaining physical assets (soda, plastic cups, bar equipment, festival equipment) is being donated to the Pride Center at Equality Park. The registered Trademark “Wicked Manors” is also being officially transferred to the Pride Center.”

What is HOT? The Holiday season…Instead of picking a product or service that is HOT this week I chose to pick the Holiday season. What is HOTTER than spending quality time with your loved ones. From the bottom of my heart, I wish everyone a happy holiday season!
