Tampa Domestic Registry, 2 Years Old
In a very smart move from Tampa Councilwoman Yvonne “Yolie” Capin back in April 2012 to approve a Domestic Partnership Registry in Tampa. The covenant law allowed healthcare decisions,healthcare visitation, educational sharing, funeral arrangements and more for GLBT couples.
This measure went on to the Tampa City Council and passed then Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn signed the new Tampa law into effect. Now over hundreds of couples have utilized the right to be a recognized domestic couple in Tampa.
It was very exciting for Mark & myself being in the Mayor’s conference room when Mayor Buckhorn signed the new historical law. He gave us the city pen he used to sign the new equality law.
Enjoy your rights by going to Tampa City Hall and getting your Domestic Partnership Registry. It is another one of your rights in Tampa. Maybe, we will see in the near future a positive change in Hillsborough County Commissioners on their stand on passing the Hillsborough County Domestic Partnership Registry.

Miss GaYBOR 2014, Miss Dena Cass
The reserved tables were decorated with colorful flowers and take home goodies. This years Miss GaYBOR Pageant theme was ” All that Shines!” The chatter and bustle of the 9 contestants and many personal entourages of hair stylists and dressing gown outfitters were bustling on Honey Pot’s third floor. Mirrors and wardrobes were abound with bright flattering makeup lighting. Makeup, dress layouts, props set and the bouffant wig hairdos all in order and clustered! Again, the GaYBOR District Coalition should be proud put’n on the Ritz!!
At the helm of this years gorgeous pageantry was “Sheriff Mike” Wilson with assistants Prada, Walter Gio, Paul Hannah, Rich Kerin and GaYBOR President Mark Eary. The designed winning GaYBOR bling crown was exquisite in sparkles and appearance!
This years winning GaYBOR title goes to deserving local artist, Miss Dena Cass. She will be doing many guest appearance bookings across Tampa Bay and around the state. Nikki Monet retired her years reign on a very special nights performance.
Congratulations to all contestants and to our newly crowned 2014 Miss GaYBOR, Miss Dena Cass!
