Despite the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill and our governor’s recent anti-trans proclamation, thousands showed up at Tampa Pride in Ybor City last weekend.
Besides large crowds of LGBTQ-supporters, the event also featured notable Tampeños like newly sworn-in police chief Mary O’Connor, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, multiple members of Tampa City Council, Sen. Janet Cruz, and even cast members from Amazon Prime’s “Tampa Baes.”
Mayor Jane Castor, who is gay, was in Israel last Saturday.
