Get out your sunscreen and flip-flops, Projectors! The Bilerico Project is heading to the Sunshine State of Florida! We are happy to now offer LGBTQ Floridians and their allies a place to read about queer news, politics, culture, and life- Bilerico-Florida!
Florida is an important battleground state and it's high time to shine a queer ray of light on the state! With the Presidential elections (and Florida's spotty election history), the upcoming "Marriage Protection" Amendment to the state constitution, history-making out LGBT Candidates running for all levels of office, the continuing fight for trans-rights, and much more, Florida is a place to watch for the entire LGBT community!
Right now on Bilerico-Florida, we have an exclusive interview with Steve Hildebrand, the Deputy Campaign Manager for the Obama Campaign and the highest ranking gay staffer for the campaign.
