Visit Florida Removes LGBTQ Travel Amid Backlash
News summary

Visit Florida, the state's tourism marketing agency, has quietly removed its 'LGBTQ Travel' section from its website, causing concern and backlash from the LGBTQ+ community and business owners. This move comes amidst a series of actions under Governor Ron DeSantis' administration that have been perceived as hostile to LGBTQ+ rights, including the 'Don’t Say Gay' law. The removal was first reported by NBC News, and although Visit Florida officials have not commented, the content removal has been widely seen as another step in marginalizing the LGBTQ+ community. The LGBTQ+ tourism market is significant for Florida's economy, contributing billions annually. Business leaders and advocates argue that the decision lacks business sense and damages the state's image as an inclusive destination. Despite the removal, Florida continues to promote other minority groups on its tourism site.
