How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
But the video, which features people of all ages, races, genders, and orientations, is more than just another travel commercial. It offers us a much-needed reminder that, despite the current political climate in America, we’re never going back. The advancements made in LGBTQ rights under the Obama administration are here to stay and we’re committed to making sure of that.
Check out the powerful video…

This event/protest is pretty pointless.

It wasn’t an “event/protest,” moron.
It was an advertisement by New Orleans Tourism — and a pretty great one at that.
I realize that you and your ilk are happy to see us move backwards, socially and politically, but thankfully, you’re in the minority.

The biggest mistake that LGBT traders did is vote for Trump. His running mate Pence has always been against LGBT RIGHTS, and the new administration is highly Antigay!
