LGBTQ+ Travel Update: Florida Removes Key Resources Amid Rising Tensions

LGBTQ+ travel in Florida is becoming increasingly complex. Recently, under Ron DeSantis' leadership, the state’s tourism marketing agency has 'quietly removed' crucial travel information catering to LGBTQ+ visitors. Popular destinations such as Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, and St. Petersburg have long been celebrated spots for LGBTQ+ tourists, drawing millions each year.

This unexpected change has sparked concerns among those who rely on these resources for planning their trips. Many fear that this signals a broader shift in the state’s stance towards the LGBTQ+ community, which is now reflected in the travel industry. The decision raises questions regarding the sustainability and inclusivity of Florida as a premier LGBTQ+ travel destination.
