Freedom’s true colors

Posted on June 04, 2024

Pride Month is set to kick off on June 1, marking a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community's contributions. However, Gov. Ron DeSantis has stirred controversy with his administration's decision to limit state-controlled bridges to red, white, and blue illumination during 'Freedom Summer,' aiming to overshadow Pride celebrations. This move, seen as politically charged, represents an attempt to diminish the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, given DeSantis' history of harmful legislation that marginalizes marginalized groups.

Posted on April 04, 2024

Impacted by Florida's public building restroom ban? The ACLU Florida wants to connect with you!Florida Statute § 553.865, also known as H.B. 1521, is one of the many laws recently enacted as part of an anti-LGBTQIA+ agenda spreading across Florida. Targeting transgender, non-binary, gender-nonconforming, and intersex individuals, the law makes it a crime in Florida for someone in a multi-user restroom or changing facility in a building owned or leased by a government entity to refuse to leave that restroom or changing facility after an employee of that government entity tells them to.

Todd on Local 10 re: Pope and the blessing of same-sex couples

Pope Francis has approved a new policy allowing Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples, which represents a significant shift in the Church's stance. The Vatican has clarified that these blessings should not be considered marriage ceremonies or tied to any specific Catholic celebration or religious service.

Local 10 interviewed Todd Delmay, the executive director of SAVE, about the Vatican's historic policy change. Click here to watch the video.

The document emphasized that requests for same-sex couple blessings should not be denied, and there should not be an exhaustive moral analysis as a prerequisite for conferring these blessings.

FACILITATING SAFE LGBTQ+ SPACES CAN SAVE LIVES

Posted on November 02, 2023

We can elevate LGBTQ+ well-being through safe spaces and allyship

In a world where diversity should be celebrated, it's disheartening to witness the persistent discrimination and violence spurred by anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and rhetoric that continues to plague our community. The need for safe spaces has never been more urgent. Beyond offering refuge, these spaces are crucial for nurturing the well-being and empowerment of LGBTQ+ individuals, holding the potential to uplift all marginalized identities.

Even in states plagued by anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments, like Florida, there is hope. The region boasts a vibrant array of LGBTQ+ organizations and initiatives like the recent City of Miami LGBTQ+ Community Survey and the Miami Beach Cares campaign. Our efforts can cultivate safe spaces in online groups, sanctuary cities, advocacy organizations, and inclusive faith communities and businesses. Our collective responsibility is to provide solace for marginalized identities, creating an environment where local communities are profoundly inviting to those who may be rooted in place by necessity or choice.
