6 • 12.11.2025‘I CAN’T LOOK HOMELESS’Although L hadn’t intended on staying in South Florida when he flew down in February for a short vacation, something clicked.“I was feeling something I’d never felt before,” he said. “Whatever was happening here, I couldn’t ignore it.” When he told a staff member at Compass, the local LGBTQ community center where he had been volunteering, that he planned to live in his car just to stay in the area, help was offered. So, L stayed. Since May, he has been navigating housing instability, rotating parking lots, and finding creative ways to manage hygiene, food, and medical care while living out of his car.A gay trans man in his early 30s, L speaks candidly about the layers of complexity that come with being unhoused and queer. From FEATUREMary Rasura planning which Planet Fitness locations have 24-hour bathrooms to managing hormone therapy in the Florida heat, L’s experience reflects the quiet calculations required to survive — and maintain dignity — without permanent shelter.“I can’t look homeless,” he said. “Because we know how people perceive someone who’s presumably unhoused. There’s this instant downgrade in their opinion.”For LGBTQ people, the experience of homelessness is often shaped not just by economic precarity, but by safety concerns and social stigma. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, young adults aged 18-24 who identify as gay or transgender are twice as likely to experience homelessness compared to straight young adults. And for trans adults like L, using the bathroom while homeless is not just a logistical hurdle. “I don’t have the luxury, being trans, of just using the bathroom in a normal way like I just hike up against the tree,” L said. “I don’t have that option.” He said he prefers to drive somewhere to use the bathroom so he doesn’t have to risk outing himself. Compass, where L still volunteers regularly, offers a range of services to help LGBTQ individuals experiencing housing instability. According to Latisha Gonzalez, the organization’s Program Marketing and Media Director, Compass provides access to computers for job and benefits applications, harm reduction supplies, mental health referrals, HIV testing, and connections to partner organizations in the community.“Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of funding for housing at this moment, so we do as much as we can with the resources that we have FOR LGBTQ PEOPLE, THE EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS IS OFTEN SHAPED NOT JUST BY ECONOMIC PRECARITY, BUT BY SAFETY CONCERNS AND SOCIAL STIGMA.Compass Community Center. Courtesy photo.NAVIGATING HOUSING INSTABILITY AS A QUEER TRANS MAN IN SOUTH FLORIDAavailable,” Gonzalez said. Despite limited funding, the center remains a hub for connection. For L, it’s been a lifeline, not only for tangible resources, but for a sense of belonging. “I’ve been doing this a long time, very alone, very stealth, very let me blend in and just get along. I made it over 30 years without a community, so maybe I didn’t need one,” L said. “But whatever feeling I was having, I was like ‘I have to have more of this,’ because it’s giving me something that’s making me feel very whole, very well rounded.” That sense of purpose has become the reason L stays, even through 90-degree nights in a car and food budgeting that leaves just two dollars a day. L continues to volunteer, share knowledge, and build community, even when others don’t know he’s doing it all without a home. “I don’t want to be defined by it or treated differently by it,” L said. “I do a lot of the volunteering, but I don’t want to ever be in a situation where anything feels transactional. I’m doing things because I want to do things, and I just happen to sleep in my car.” Still, the reality is fragile. One parking citation, one impounded car, one missed testosterone shot, and everything could unravel. “There’s a lot tied up in that, having my car, having the mobility,” L said. “That my whole life’s in there.”“I have to be doing shots weekly for the rest of my life,” L continued. “If my whole stash was lost, my body would fall apart very, very quickly.”And yet, L remains grounded by conviction. “I get asked, ‘Do you think you’re going to still be doing this a year from now?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to be doing a week from now,’” L said. “As long as I’m still doing something that feels purposeful, I’m going to keep doing that thing.”

If the 2025 edition of Holiday Fantasia is any indication, the answer is yes.The show went down at Sunshine Cathedral on Sunday, Dec. 7 in front of a nearly packed house. Created by Matthew Darren’s D-Rock Productions, the event mixed big, old-skool production numbers with classic holiday faves in Spanish and English. Darren’s producing skills are set to surpass his vocal skills, which is a high bar to clear.“This was an incredible crew of people, amazing artists, and phenomenal talent,” Darren said immediately after the performance. “It’s like being a kid in a candy store. I get to sing with my friends, people enjoyed it, and we get to be festive for the holidays.”The show was reminiscent of the type of show you’d see in a Vegas showroom; lots of costume changes, playful banter, and powerful vocals. Darren and co-host Varla Jean Merman had great chemistry. Eric Restivo kept the crowd engaged while performers set up for the next number, all while appearing in fabulous outfits.The highlight of the show may have been an intense-yet-playful version of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus in the style of Sam Smith’s Unholy. The Royal Peacock Dancers, dressed in elf shorts and hats, brought the sexy. They continued to appear in everything from full elf drag to holiday themed onesies.Other performers included Jonathan Casañas, Natasha Ricketts, Brian Mason, and reigning Mz OutSFL Velvet Lenore.The holiday vibes were also for a good cause. SunServe’s SilverServe program focuses on senior needs and will benefit from the concert’s proceeds.“We’re so appreciative for moments like this,” SunServe CEO Tony Lima told the crowd. “SilverServe focuses on intensive case management for seniors. They’re facing food insecurity, isolation, and we proudly provide the support they need on a daily basis.”Darren also presented local activist and arts supporter Terry Hardacre as their honoree of the year.

12.11.2025 • 9WILLIAM ‘BILL’ SPINOSA, GAY MEN’S CHORUS OF SOUTH FLORIDA FOUNDER, DIES AT 67Bill Spinosa, a pioneering LGBTQ+ community leader and founding president of the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida (GMCSF), passed away suddenly on November 1, 2025, at the age of 67. Bill helped launch GMCSF in 2010 and dedicated over 15 years to nurturing its mission to inspire audiences, open minds, and change hearts through music. His unwavering passion and leadership made him a beloved pillar of South Florida’s LGBTQ+ arts community and cemented a legacy of activism and song.Born in Brooklyn, New York, Bill built a dynamic early career in retail and personal development, rising quickly through Bloomingdale’s and later serving as a seminar leader with Landmark Worldwide. He went on to launch a successful consulting firm in South Florida, guiding medical and dental professionals in leadership and efficiency. His talent for coaching and connecting with people laid the groundwork for his later success in building community through music and service.After moving to Fort Lauderdale, Bill channeled his passion for music and equality into what became the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida. In 2009, when a group of singers sought to form a new chorus, Bill was among the visionaries who met to chart a path forward. By September 2010, the GMCSF was incorporated, and Bill stepped up as the fledgling chorus’s first Chorus President. From day one, he and the original officers rolled up their sleeves – dividing day-to-day responsibilities, recruiting volunteers, and managing operations – to get the organization off the ground. Bill was part Photo by Ginny Dixon.of the original group that helped the chorus navigate its earliest rehearsals, secured nonprofit status, and put on its debut concert in December that year, marking “the beginning of a new chapter in LGBTQ+ arts in South Florida.”As founding president from 2010 through 2014, Bill helped GMCSF establish its mission and a strong foundation of governance and community engagement. “He helped lead the formation of GMCSF, guiding the organization from its earliest rehearsals through incorporation and rapid growth,” said Kerry Waldee, Board Chair. “Under his leadership, the chorus…grew into a visible and respected cultural voice in South Florida’s LGBTQ+ arts landscape.” Bill was instrumental in instilling the values that still define the chorus. He emphasized transparency, integrity, and inclusivity, fostering a sense of “chosen family” among members. “Bill led by example and instilled values that became part of our culture…he wanted us to be a family—connected, supportive, and proud of what we created together,” recalls Tony Corrente, a longtime chorus member and past president.“Bill loved this Chorus. He was its champion and an advocate for creating a space filled with kindness, nurturing, and love,” wrote Jonathan Sanz, GMCSF’s current president, in a message to members announcing the loss. “He dedicated every single day to the Chorus… The Chorus meant everything to Bill.” Under his vigilant care, GMCSF not only survived challenges but continued to expand its artistic reach and community impact. “GMCSF is Bill’s legacy Edward Otto Zielke VIEWPOINTS • GUEST COLUMNDONATE IN BILL’S MEMORY: BIT.LY/GMCSF_DONATEto the world,” Jonathan affirmed gratefully. In chorus rehearsals and performances, an empty white stool is placed on stage to honor members who have passed – a tradition of remembrance that Bill himself upheld for others, and that now poignantly honors him.His legacy lives on through the Bill Spinosa Distinguished Service Award, which bears his name and honors chorus members whose service echoes his profound commitment and vision. Known for his selfless leadership and passion for uplifting others, Bill was a force for change both within the chorus and across the LGBTQ+ community. Whether on stage, in church, or among friends, he brought people together with heart and harmony, leaving a lasting imprint on South Florida’s cultural and spiritual life.Bill is survived by his beloved husband, Frank Molano, with whom he shared over 25 years of love, music, and partnership. He leaves behind cherished family in New York and Florida, and a chosen family of friends, chorus members, and mentees whose lives he deeply touched. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, December 20, at 2pm at the United Church of Christ in Fort Lauderdale. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to GMCSF or UCC Fort Lauderdale in honor of a man whose life resonated with harmony, leadership, and love.

10 • 12.11.2025NOW TRUMP WANTS TO EXPORT IGNORANCE In late November, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent instructions to U.S. diplomats directing them to sell Trump’s immigration policies to allies who don’t want them. In a barely reported move, Rubio instructed American diplomats serving Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada to start “raising concerns” about “immigrant crime” with foreign leaders, while encouraging them to adopt harsher entry restrictions. Rubio’s directive suggests he is unaware that Canadian, and most European leaders, regard Trump as an undisciplined moron. Unable to read the global room, Rubio instructed American diplomats to “regularly engage host governments” on immigrant crime, and to “report back” on allies who seem “overly supportive of immigrants.” The goal, Rubio said, is to build foreign support for Trump’s “reform policies related to migrant crime, defending national sovereignty, and ensuring the safety of local communities.” The result, most likely, will be a collective eye roll. RUBIO IS EXPORTING LIES Trump, Fox News, and hard right politicians like Viktor Orban have built their brands around fearmongering, portraying immigrants as dangerous criminals. But educated leaders outside the right-wing echo chamber instantly recognize these claims as false. In 2024, the National Institute of Justice released figures comparing arrest rates between undocumented immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens, tracked over a seven-year period. The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born citizens for violent and drug crimes, and at a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes. For homicide, undocumented immigrants had the lowest arrest rates throughout the entire study, averaging less than half the rate of U.S.-born citizens. Studies in Europe show similar results. In Germany, where the far-right Alternative for Germany party claims that “violent gang rapes” and “knife crimes” by immigrants are “skyrocketing,” media outlets’ fact-checking teams showed those claims were false. In early 2025, researchers found no correlation between immigration and crime rates in Italy, Germany, the UK, France and Belgium. The same results were reported in August for Canada and Australia. TRUMP IS TRYING TO EXPORT ECONOMIC FAILURES Setting aside perceptions, foreign leaders are aware, even if Trump is not, that his antiimmigrant push has hurt global and local economies. In the U.S., no sector has been hurt more by Trump’s anti-immigration push than farmers. American farmers today say their #1 challenge isn’t the weather, equipment costs, or even the mortgage — it’s finding enough labor. With over 40% of American farmworkers lacking legal status, people who used to do the heavy lifting are now staying home in fear while crops rot in the fields. When ICE started raiding farms earlier this year, a large California farmer told Reuters that around 70% of the migrant workforce stopped coming to work, which meant “70% of your crop doesn’t get picked.” She also said out loud what Trump refuses to admit: “Most Americans don’t want to do this (backbreaking) work.” Although ICE’s effect on food supplies will take more time to assess, immigration policies that ignore regional labor requirements are a long-standing problem. Several years ago, the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association begged Congress to expand their accessible labor pool as the dairy industry faces “an acute national labor crisis” without immigrant labor. In 2025, farm labor, and the dairy labor crisis, have worsened. Industry leaders in Europe say the same. Migrant workers are as crucial to construction, hospitality, and agriculture in the EU as they are in the U.S. Immigrants in Europe also comprise over 50% of the skilled workforce in technology. Overall, immigrant labor has become more crucial, not less, as Europe faces declining population trends. BAD TIMING Emphasizing foreign “sovereignty” in their anti-immigrant efforts, Rubio and Trump somehow miss that exporting Trump’s xenophobia, and dictating its ignorant spread, doesn’t respect our allies’ sovereignty, it offends it. Trump and Rubio seem to project their own Fox News-based myopia onto the world, assuming foreign audiences accept their factfree propaganda as blindly as MAGA does. But they don’t. Fox couldn’t hack the UK’s accuracy-in-the-news legal requirement and stopped trying to broadcast there several years ago. As a result, EU audiences are better equipped to discern fact from fiction than far-right audiences in the U.S. As the administration calls for a travel ban on entire countries full of “killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies,” Rubio’s timing could not be worse. He is pushing Trump’s hatred just when EU allies are credibly accusing him of blackmail, and South America leaders are accusing the administration of murder. Rubio obviously misapprehends how little regard Europeans and Canadians have for Trump’s uninformed bellicosity. Poor timing on his immigration cable alone suggests our allies will soon start letting his calls go into voicemail.

12.11.2025 • 11 VIEWPOINTS • OPINIONHoliday Park, long considered one of Fort Lauderdale’s crown jewels, is experiencing a historic rebirth — one that blends the city’s sporting heritage with a bold, forward-looking vision for generations to come. With a newly completed $9.5 million renovation, funded through the Orange Bowl Committee’s Legacy Program along with the support of the USTA and the city of Fort Lauderdale, the park has re-emerged as one of the premier public tennis facilities in the United States. This transformational commitment represents the largest legacy fund financial contribution in Orange Bowl history since the organization’s founding in 1935.This week, Holiday Park proudly welcomes the world as it becomes the new home of the Orange Bowl International Junior Tennis Championships, one of the most prestigious youth tournaments in global tennis. Known simply as “the Orange Bowl,” the event has shaped the careers of countless superstars, and now — after decades in South Florida — the tournament begins a new chapter at a venue deeply intertwined with tennis greatness.At the heart of the celebration is the dedication of the Chris Evert Stadium Court, honoring one of the greatest champions the sport has ever produced. The court sits within the Jimmy Evert Tennis Center, named for the legendary coach whose influence shaped American tennis for more than half a century. Jimmy Evert served as Fort Lauderdale’s beloved teaching professional for decades, molding thousands of players — including his daughter, Chris Evert, an 18-time Grand Slam champion who grew up mastering her craft on these very courts.Holiday Park’s upgraded design preserves that legacy while elevating the complex to world-class standards. The renovations include resurfaced competition courts, expanded seating, improved lighting, modern locker rooms, and enhanced facilities capable of hosting international events. City officials describe it as a bridge between past and future — a place where new champions will rise on the same clay where legends were formed.Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis delivered an emotional, inspiring speech at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, emphasizing the significance of community investment and the unifying power of public spaces. He spoke about Holiday Park as a place where families gather, friendships form, and generations come to play, dream, and cheer together. Trantalis highlighted how the renovation not only honors the Evert family and their unparalleled contributions to tennis, but also strengthens the city’s commitment to youth sports, inclusivity, and civic pride.For many, this revival is deeply personal. Among those reflecting on the park’s powerful influence was former top junior, collegiate, and professional player Bobby Blair, who attended the ceremony. “I grew up playing on these courts,” Blair recalled. “Every time I visited my grandmother on NE 6th Avenue as a kid, I came here to play. Holiday Park in many ways shaped my life in tennis and beyond. Seeing this transformation—and seeing Chris Evert’s name on this stadium court — is incredibly meaningful.” Bobby Blair, an LGBTQ media pioneer and philanthropist, lives in Fort Lauderdale with his partner, Brian Neal. A Florida native, he was inducted into the GLBT Hall of Fame in 2015.

This show is bold, a bit mischievous, and described by The LA Times as “wickedly funny.” In the show, Vixen has accused Santa of sexual harassment. The party kicks off one hour before showtime and continues with post-show photos with the reindeer, music, and holiday cheer at the Wilton Collective event space, 1414 NE 26th St., Wilton Manors. A toy drive benefits Undercover Santa. Patrons are strongly encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy to benefit Undercover Santa. The show runs Dec. 12-14.

For tickets and more information, visit ArtsBalleTheatre.org.HOMETOWN HEROFort Lauderdale’s Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library had its power and influence felt in Hollywood, California, with Museum President and CEO Robert Kesten attending the OUT100 Celebration hosted by OUT Magazine, honoring LGBTQ individuals and allies who have led with resilience, courage, and joy even in the face of rising adversity, promoting a brighter future for all. Listed as one of the year’s Top Innovators, Kesten said, “When I received the news from OUT Magazine about my inclusion in this year’s OUT100, I was truly honored. In our current political climate, it’s become increasingly easy to feel discouraged and hopeless. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to be part of such a lovely night.”Upon becoming the Museum’s Executive Director in 2022 (now President and CEO), Kesten embraced his new mission of protecting LGBTQ history and culture from erasure, kickstarting numerous events and initiatives to raise funds, spotlight iconic members of the community, and provide a welcoming space celebrating diversity and pride. WE’RE GAGA FOR GOOGIEThe words of Mama Rose as sung by Googie Gomez (Rita Moreno) in The Ritz, screening Thursday, Dec. 11 at Stonewall Museum as part of OutSFL and Stonewall’s “Films every LGBTQ person should see” series. It starts at 6:30, and it’s free. RSVP to [email protected] MEN: THE NEXT GENERATIONThe Arsht Center and Zoetic Stage will present the Florida premiere of Matthew Lopez’s award-winning epic, “The Inheritance, Part 1.” It is a powerful story about love, legacy, and what it means to be gay in America today. The play has been described as a spiritual successor to Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America” and will be staged in the intimate Carnival Studio Theater from Jan. 8-25. The play begins with a group of young men struggling to find the right way to begin writing their stories, with the help of E.M. Forster, who appears as a mentor. The play delves into themes of generational responsibility, the AIDS epidemic, and the quest for a place to call home. It is a deeply moving and thoughtprovoking piece that honors the legacy of E.M. Forster’s Howards End while reimagining it for the contemporary gay community. This promises to be a hot ticket, and you’d be best served buying yours early. Go to ZoeticStage.org.
