Review for Equality Florida, Tampa, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I went to every elected Official in Largo due to a man who had attacked me several times and the only help I had was the Largo police. The next door neighbor and even the HOA of the condo I was renting but discriminated against me after the attack fro the neighbor (2 counts of aggravated assault) he tried to kill me and I almost had to shoot him, The HOA tried to evict me the victim, I went to state Reps to Senators offices I called the Governor the Mayor , the City commsiioner who helped me largo police, I called the FBI as the neighbor would stand on his lawn and scream curse threaten to kill use the "N" word and call me derogatory names. I was being attacked from every which way including flying the Gay flag during the month of June right after the Orlando massacre . Even though there were ZERO rules regarding this. Finally I heard about Equality Florida who listen to my story, let me volunteer in such a crucial time, I had just moved to Florida and didn't know any Gay people and was so alone during this crisis. I went to all the candle light vigils in Tampa thanks to Equality Florida telling me about them I went also to Hillsborough County Commissioners meeting to raise the flag and even spoke before them . Finally I was told by Equality Florida about Pinellas County Human Rights in Clearwater and to go and file charges and than and only than did my story and my pain and suffering change because I filed charged against the HOA and was able to connect the story to my attacker including I won 30 year Injunction against hime as well. Up till than the HOA and my victim were successful in terrorizing me and I moved here not knowing anyone. I had a great weekend volunteering with Equality Florida during the Gay Pride event in St. Petes. I felt alive again and proud to be me. Thank you Equality Florida. I hope I have the opportunity to volunteer again every year. I also volunteer for Suncoast Hospice and St 'Cecilia's as well. Thank you John Bibby
