One hand hand I agree with their decision and on one hand I am disagreeing. I agree that these performances sometimes can be interpret as mocking trans people and gender fluidity. At the same time Drag Queens has always been apart of all the LGBTQ events all over the world and I haven't seen anyone else seeing it as an issue. 

I am in agreement with you on this. One of my best friends who is like my little sister is gay with a wife. She absolutely loves dressing up and doing drag shows. I think she would call this plain BS.

When is that taking place?

It's always the last week and especially the last weekend of October.  It's WILD.  If you go, Friday night is the best.  Saturday night is pretty good too, but I don't care to stick around and watch the parade.

 

Back when we used to be able to have a photo section as part of our VJ account I had several pics from Fantasy Fest.  Was always surprised I didn't get permanently banned.  Guess the mods never looked!

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

Let me know and I can show you around.  Fair warning, it's not an event for the timid or those with strict morals.  A lot of nudity and drinking.  Open container laws are suspended and the police are very cool.  They just don't want anyone to get hurt.  Definitely NOT an event for kids!

If a male ladybug had a sex change operation it would still be a ladybug. This is too confusing. Ladybugs have rights too.

Will do.  Who knows, I might find an alternative lifestyle that suits me in such a festive locale! :)

VJ is missing a trick in not having a sub forum to focus on such issues.

The Keys are a special place. It's a little isolated.  My wife could never live there, no Saks 5th Ave or Louis Vuitton stores.  You've got to love being on the water (it's beautiful, clear, and so blue), fishing, and drinking, or so it seems.  We see a lot of old hippies that never grew out of that lifestyle.  Just kind of a wacky place.   We were lucky to survive Irma with just minor damage, but many of my neighbors had very severe damage. 

 

Unfortunately money is starting to flow in and things are changing.
