The last day of the convention and there are mixed reactions from everybody. In Ybor City the day started with a convention bus hitting a building. It was very quiet in GaYBOR/Ybor City. That night our phone rang off the hook!!!! The TV Show TMZ TV had caught Homophobic Illinois’ Republican Congressman Aaron Schock, in GaYBOR in front of MC Film – Gay Pride Store, The Ybor Social -A GLBT Bar & The Ybor Resort & Spa – The Gay Bath House!!! ( From Wikipedia: Schock voted against amending federal hate crimes laws to include crimes where the victims were targeted on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender and disability. He voted against the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell“ in December 2010. Schock is opposed to gay marriage.Schock opposes abortion and has voted to prohibit federal funding for the procedure.) Aaron Schock was asked about GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan physique & clothing. We think the real question should have been, “What are you doing walking around in the GaYBOR District?” Hum…… See the video here http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_wrwfhybx also in the http://www.ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=12839&MediaType=1&Category=22
One last Protest. The clandestine campfire group Westboro Baptist Church were protesting in Centro Ybor. What a wimpy group and a joke! There was nobody there to protest against in front of the sand trooper police. Across the street on the balcony behind the protesters was Sammy waving his rainbow flag. We noticed one person wearing a yellow poster talking back at them. Later that night to our delight we learned that person was Miss Tiffany Middlesex. You Go Girl!!!! Sammy insisted we take a photo from his balcony, showing all the protesters asses!!! LOL Then came the final speeches on RNC fantasy night TV. Thank You Clint Eastwood for helping the Democrats. Talking to an empty chair!?!?! Tampa stood proud. Good Bye RNC.
