When my partner and I moved to Tampa, Florida five years ago were were astounded that all the civil rights which we took for granted in New Jersey were not assured us in Florida. Equality Florida has made major strides on the local and state level to assure equality for the LGBT community in Florida, for example our rights to adopt children. In addition to raising our voice in government, Equality Florida has an important educational mission and increasingly includes our str8 brothers and sisters in our efforts. I doubt there is not more important human/civil rights effort in Florida today than Equality Florida.
