This is a city that gets it right, even in a state that is so wrong JENNY BLOCK | Contributing Writer Some days it feels hard to celebrate.
But the truth is, celebrating is more important now than ever. As I think about Pride season approaching — not that we shouldn’t be celebrating it all year round — I think about how we celebrate when there’s so much not right with the world right now.
It made me think about when I attended Pride in Orlando in the Fall of 2023. Orlando is a place I consider “the model of doing it right,” despite being in a state that seems hell bent on doing it wrong.
In fact, I think Orlando deserves an extra gold star for always doing the right thing when their own state government refuses to.
