		<description><![CDATA[I first stayed at the Parliament House in Orlando in the summer of 1976, just a year after Bill Miller and Michael Hodges purchased the Abbey, a rundown motel at 410 North Orange Blossom Trail, and turned it into Florida’s premier gay resort. If I recall correctly, the rooms were rather seedy, certainly in comparison [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the second of a series of articles about the history of South Florida’s LGBT community. (The first one was a personal account of the Miami bar scene in 1974). I invite other veterans of South Florida&#8217;s LGBT community in the 1970s and 1980s to share their experiences with us. You may reach me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Argentine Republic’s legalization of same-sex marriage July 15 came as a complete surprise to those of us who think of Argentina as the land of machismo, meat-eaters – Argentines are the world&#8217;s biggest carnivores, consuming 70 kilos (154 lbs.) of beef per person – and military coups. According to “Completely Queer: The Gay and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago the Zurich Zoo in Switzerland conducted guided tours that centered around homosexual behavior among the zoo animals. Unfortunately, the one hour tours were held in the early evenings, at a time when most animals were asleep. But this did not stop the gay zoo tours from being a success. Though there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a South Floridian, I am blessed by this region’s warm climate and proximity to some of our best beaches. Sadly, most of my LGBT sisters and brothers are not as fortunate. Therefore, it is not surprising that during the summer months many lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people vacation by the sea. “Some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every day, same-sex couples must fight for the basic rights that straight married couples take for granted. One of those basic rights is the right to visit your partner in the hospital. Michael and I are fortunate to live in Broward County, a progressive county in the mostly conservative state of Florida. Broward has a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dolphin Democrats are South Florida’s oldest, largest and most successful LGBT political organization. Founded in 1982 by Karl Clark, Tom Bradshaw, Jamie Bloodworth and other activists, the Dolphins have made Broward County the most gay-friendly county in a still-homophobic state. Thanks to Dolphin leadership, Broward has both an LGBT-inclusive human rights ordinance and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Resistance takes many forms. For some of us, it means staging a demonstration or starting a political action group. For others, it means being defiantly different in a society that hates difference. As John Rechy and Charley Shively noted more than three decades ago, queer sexual activity was in itself subversive in states that (pre-Lawrence) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most important gay books of the 20th century was Richard Amory&#8217;s Song of the Loon: A Gay Pastoral in Five Books and an Interlude (Greenleaf Classics). While of doubtful literary value, Song of the Loon made gay literary history with its explicit depictions of gay male sex, its positive portrayal of male [...]]]></description>
