During his time in office, Gov. Ron DeSantis has been aggressive in vetoing appropriations in the state budget for LGBTQ programs.⁠ ⁠ Cognizant of that fact, some Democratic legislators, say, they’ve been able to continue support for those programs by omitting any direct references to the LGBTQ community in their appropriation proposals.⁠ ⁠ But that gambit may be coming to an end, one lawmaker suggested on Saturday.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Full story via Mitch Perry and Florida Phoenix accessible through link in bio⁠ ⁠ 📸 Image Courtesy: Dave Decker / Creative Loafing Tampa Bay⁠ ⁠ #tampa #tampanews #floridanews ⁠ ⁠ 2025-09-16 01:07:14 .. 0 -100% 11 -77%
FWC’s social media comment policy allows public comments on posts, but claims they reserve the right to delete, hide, or report comments if they are vulgar, contain personal attacks, or violate other guidelines such as being off topic, repetitive, or hateful.⁠ ⁠ “So much of this is extremely subjective,” said Barbara Petersen, Executive Director of Florida Center for Government Accountability (FLCGA). “I think it's unenforceable because it’s unconstitutional.”⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Full story via Noah Bookstein accessible through link in bio⁠ ⁠ 📸 Image Courtesy: myfwcmedia/Flickr⁠ ⁠ #tampa #tampanews #floridanews #FWC #FirstAmmendment 2025-09-14 21:28:15 .. 0 -100% 22 -53%

As The Sapphic Sun (sapphicsunfl) prepares to print its first anniversary edition, staff of Tampa Bay’s monthly lesbian and queer newspaper got a big shoutout.⁠ ⁠ Tuesday’s “Late Night With Seth Meyers” included a segment called “Jokes Seth can’t tell.”⁠ ⁠ “A group of people in Florida started publishing a lesbian newspaper called The Sapphic Sun,” Meyers said before yielding to Jenny Hagel, and her fellow queer “Late Night” writer Amber Ruffin, who had some alternative names for the Sapphic Sun.⁠ ⁠ Hagel held up mock copies of “The Dildo Daily,” “The Lesbian Ledger,” “The Gold Star Gazette,” “The Butch Beacon,” “The Hers & Hers Herald” and “The Vageterian Voice,” joking that they were the names the St. Pete-based editors brainstormed before settling on The Sapphic Sun. 👉️ Full story via Selene San Felice accessible through link in bio⁠ ⁠ 📸 Image Courtesy: Screengrab via LateNightSeth/YouTube ⁠ #tampa #tampanews #floridanews #LateNightWithSethMeyers 2025-09-11 19:12:13 .. 567 +74% 12 -75%

Creative Pinellas uses about $1.05 million to support and promote the arts in the county. Pinellas’ tourism bed tax—collected when visitors book hotel rooms— provides $861,000.⁠ ⁠ Thursday’s 5-2 vote to cut the $156,000 from the general fund was made at the suggestion of Commissioner Brian Scott.⁠ ⁠ It came after two hours of compelling arguments and personal stories from Pinellas artists, teachers, art patrons, gallery owners, arts administrators, business owners and entrepreneurs, museum workers, filmmakers, marketing professionals, writers and poets.⁠ ⁠ And Creative Pinellas—which has 11 employees who could lose their jobs—may need them to show up again since commissioners will discuss the overall county budget before a final vote on Sept. 18.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Full story via Jennifer Ring accessible through link in bio⁠ ⁠ 📸 Image Courtesy: Pinellas County⁠ ⁠ #tampa #tampanews #floridanews 2025-09-07 23:33:12 .. 348 +7% 11 -77%

Since its opening in 1973, as one of the park’s original attractions, many families have grown to love the ride, which takes guests in a faux log that leads to one small drop and a large 43-foot drop at the end of the three-minute ride.⁠ ⁠ Stanley Falls quickly became one of the park’s most iconic attractions, but will shut down for good after Sunday, Sept. 7. Busch Gardens announced the closure quietly on its social media last Friday. While no replacement has been revealed, the move follows a broader trend: theme parks across the country are steadily retiring their old-school log flumes to make room for record-breaking coasters and immersive, story-driven attractions.⁠ ⁠ 👉 Full story via Ray Roa and Sophia Lawrie accessible through link in bio⁠ ⁠ #tampa #tampanews #thingstodotampa #buschgardens 2025-09-05 18:29:18 Since .. 0 -100% 10 -79%
