  • I agree... seems odd that no one showed up to support the pro-gay side.
  • Randy- glad to see your comment about the word embarassment, thanks.

    I was surprised to see no one showed up on the pro-gay side too. If you didn't know, is it possible that the word didn't get out to the pro-gay folks that this was even happening?
  • I don't think so. When I was involved in the Chapter 57 ordinance here in Orlando, some of the Commissioners would try to schedule things in such a way that made it difficult to follow the schedule but ... the laws required notifications and whatnot. I would imagine the same is true in Ft. Lauderdale. I don't know how the homosexual community missed it.
  • I was feeling a little creeped out that they kept gloating too. OK, so that's a little strong of a word, but I really don't feel the love of Jesus.

    At any rate. Yup, Mensley and Brady sum it up nicely.

    Blessings!
