Join local, state and national leaders and at the UNITE Fort Lauderdale
Rally on Tuesday July 24th at 4pm at the Fort Lauderdale City Hall 100 N. Andrews Ave.
The Rally is a community response to the recent bigoted comments by Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle. Naugle has drawn national condemnation and ridicule for attempting to justify the purchase of a a $250,000 robotic toilet by stirring anti-gay sentiment.
By last week, Equality Florida members and supporters had sent more than 500 emails to City Hall chastising the Mayor for his most recent in a long succession of anti-gay bigoted statements. Click here to send a message of your own to the Mayor.
