How Can We Battle Against the Attack On Our Friends & Family?
Unless we do something, Florida is just the beginning.
According to visitflorida.com, “Florida’s tourism industry was responsible for welcoming 137.6 million visitors in 2022, the highest number of visitors in the state’s history. This represents a 12.9% increase over 2021 and a 5.0% increase over 2019. In 2021, Florida visitors contributed $101.9 billion to Florida’s economy and supported over 1.7 million Florida jobs. According to the Office of Economic and Demographic Research, for every $1 the state invests in VISIT FLORIDA, $3.27 in state tax revenue is generated.”
In 2019 over 12.8 billion dollars in state and local taxes went into the coffers dedicated to taking away the rights of anyone who identifies as anything other than straight.¹
This begs the question, why are people who love and support anyone who identifies as gay, lesbian, queer, bi, or trans spending a single cent in Florida?
Worse? I have a colleague, who is half of a married lesbian couple who visited not once, but twice this year!!
What are people thinking? Whatever happened to “Money talks, bullshit walks?” I guarantee that if people quit spending their $100…
