As a former Floridian -- Port Richey and Tampa -- I'm often interested in news from the area. Considering former classmates sometimes provide the local controversies, you can't blame me. But I just came across news of Largo's city commissioners voting 5-2 to fire the city manager, Steve Stanton, for announcing that he plans to transition to female. As if that weren't enough, Nadie Smith of Equality Florida -- perhaps the most influential LGBT leader in the state -- was violentely thrown to the ground by police officers and arrested for handing out a flier at a Stanton hearing, I believe, reading "no discrimination." I am dumbfounded by both actions. If this story was coming out of Iran, I could believe it. But unless Largo is in the clutches of former Nazis hiding out in their 'golden years' as Floridian retirees, I just don't get it. This news out of Florida is sickening.
