Diana Nyad Instagram – So, to fill you in on the Sat night award, it was called A Hero for our Time, given by the Stonewall Museum in Ft Lauderdale. Stonewall, named after the historic first uprising for gay rights in NYC 1969, is today embroiled in a battle against horrific new anti-gay policies in FL. Don’t Say Gay has literally been made law, meaning the word GAY cannot be uttered in kindergarten through 3rd grade throughout the state. Outrageous to deny children knowing about the real world. Brave politicians, such as Mayor Dean Trantalis @mayordeanftl here to my left, could simply abandon the state but they refuse to give up the fight. I haven’t lived in FL since high school and have been in both NYC and Los Angeles all these years, but I trained off Lauderdale, Miami, and certainly Key West over many years, and my mom continued to live in Lauderdale until she came into Alzheimer’s, when my sister and I moved her to be with us in California. But Florida will always be my home and I am alarmed by this current hateful, bigoted regime there. I so very much wanted to support Annette and Jodie at the SAG Awards Sat night but the Stonewall event was important. #stonewall #stonewallmuseum #fortlauderdale #nyad | Posted on 26/Feb/2024 21:38:55
