Default Suprising News...

I always found that Fort Lauderdale and Miami were places that were VERY open to gays. However, recently there has been a lot of hate crime directed at gays.

Article from local paper: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/loc...,5987102.story

I was wondering if any of you have a lot of similar news stories where you live and if it has anything to do with the political bias of the state.

It isn't perfect, but Toronto is a very gay friendly city. I'm thankful that I live here, and can be open at least in 'the village' without really worrying about gay bashing...
