It looks like the tourism industry in Fort Lauderdale is so worried about taking a hit because of homo-obsessed Mayor Jim Naugle’s outrageous statements that members of the commission have signed a letter declaring that the area is gay-friendly.

Commissioners called the outspoken Mayor bigoted and said his remarks were despicable, but even had they officially censured him it would have no effect.  Although Fort Lauderdale is within the county, as a separate city with its own council the county can exercise no control over the resort town or its politicians.

But as concerns mount of a possible tourist boycott the commissioners said they want the worldwide LGBT community to know they disagree with Naugle. County Mayor Josephus Eggelletion and all 9 commissioners signed a letter voicing their support for gays.

…So concerned is the tourism industry over the potential fallout the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau is using paid media watchers in New York and Europe to see how far the story is spreading.

Naugle doesn’t give a damn.

Naugle dismissed the county move, telling the Sun-Sentinel that the county has no influence on him. “I have only spoken the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts but it needs to be said,” Naugle told the paper.
