Abstract

On June 15, 2005, the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners in Tampa, Florida, took decisive steps to forbid government support for gay pride events. The issue came under scrutiny when a public library created a gay-themed informational display. When the commissioners learned of the display, they voted overwhelmingly (5 to 1) in favor of a policy prohibiting the promotion of gay pride events.
