Bravo to the LGBT folks and those who oppose discrimination in Tampa who are speaking out about Hillsborough County, Florida's decision to ban the recognition of gay pride. Hundreds crowded a town hall meeting to discuss the issue last night. The furor started when county commissioner Ronda Storms complained about a gay author display at a local library which was taken down last week after the Hillsborough County Commission held a vote to ban the county's recognition of gay pride entirely.
A gay pride march and rally are set for downtown Tampa this weekend.
