Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law is a gift to rival tourism destinations, like Las Vegas
Las Vegas Sun ^ | April 27, 2022 | Editorial Staff

May it never be said that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t the giving type. Just one month ago, with a single stroke of his pen, DeSantis gifted Southern Nevada and other tourism destinations across the country billions of dollars in tourism revenue that are likely to flow out of Florida in the wake of the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation.

yep, they keep talking about all these LGBT youth.

How many transsexual 1st graders are there? How many are “gay”; how can a prepubescent child have any concept of what being “gay” is all about?

I think the economy is more to blame for the successes in Las Vegas. Desperation makes people make stupid mistakes. 😋

Another group of biased and moronic idiot Leftists acting as an editorial staff who did not read the bill, failing utterly to miss that the word ‘gay’ is no where mentioned in the bill.

Las Vegas is making happy talk as they swirl around the bowl on the way down the tubes. I understand it is now almost impossible to avoid clouds of dope smoke in most Vegas outdoor public venues. Tourists with real money will soon be choosing to avoid this place for that and many other reasons.

So parents who were previously going to take their children to Florida but decided not to because of their position on teaching sex and gender matters to children, are going to say “Hey honey, let’s take the kids to Las Vegas instead. They will love the casinos!”

Amen. I’m taking my granddaughter and a friend to a Florida beach this weekend. The fewer folks with hair like parrots, disgusting PDA’s, and general faggotry, the better.

Yeah. That was the last time I went to Vegas. 25 years ago. You’re talking to somebody who used to park on the street next to the Golden Nugget to go inside to play the slots. You know. The old Las Vegas. Not the new New Yawk “Las Vegas.” What a dump.

The gift is revealing that Disney is synonymous with grooming. Now, LVegas may be a lot of things, but it ain’t about diddling little kids.
Youare welcome, Nv.

Now, what about Disney Land? Think that is any different? Fellow citizens of CaCaLand, are you gonna take your kids there?

I used to go once a year to Vegas before Wuhan Flu hit for a week to 10 days. Why did I like Vegas? No kids and you could smoke most places.

Stunted adults have deep pockets..

But, the idea that Florida is suddenly going to lose huge vacation dollars as a state because of a law that says no sex talk to kids from K-3rd grade is insane.

Disney is not the only reason people vacation in Florida.

“I know we both miss it.”

You got it. Used to be, even in that city, you could leave your car unlocked and not worry about some scum stealing it.
Go way and leave your house unlocked. A hand shake was as good as a contract.

I really think they ought to bring back the stocks. When one of these bastards get caught, put them in it and a sign above telling what they did and let the general public take care of it. Take a picture of the bastard and post it up everywhere.

The thing is...a person can get outta there if they want.

We live just over the hill form there in AZ. 20 miles away. If we go to Laughlin, its for a lunch or buffet. Dont gamble at all anymore.

Bubba Gumps shrimp sandwich. Sit out on the deck and watch the Californians crash and kill each other on the jet skis.

I saw Elvis there at the International Hotel in August 1969 and again in February 1970. Paid a $7.50 cover charge to get in. I loved Vegas in those days. Those days are gone. It’s a dump now.
