2 years ago
After July, my badge pricing will be changing. This is the last chance anyone has to get my digital work at this price! Move fast or they'll be all gone!

I actually do not know if I'm attending this year.
I would like to open these as pre-orders, but the situation in Florida is such that it may be deleterious to my wellbeing to attend, as a trans person. I know I have missed the valuable window of getting a room, as well, so at this point, I haven't actually made firm travel plans.
I'm asking those who are aware, or live in the state, or are going how you feel right now. The current state of the "Anti drag" laws are such that myself- or much more likely, my wife- could be jailed for "performing drag" on the street, simply for wearing our normal clothing. I know that this nonsense is going to diminish attendance greatly, on top of it being simply dangerous for me to walk across the street. Does anyone think it is even worth it to try?
On one hand, the issues above, on the other, us hiding away is what they want.
This exact issue is why "think of the kids" is so dangerous, and why watching purity police invade the furry scene on the level of policy-making is a real issue with so many of us. It is a reasonable idea on the outside that is leveraged into people calling anyone they hate a groomer or pedophile so they can be litigated into not existing. I'm not sure how to maintain professional neutrality in this situation and not "get political" when they have brought politics into my work life, and not of the normal sort where people debate about unions.

Thanks for the tips!
In addition, especially if you're a local Floridian like me, supporting events/venues like this which aim to foster safe spaces for LGBTQIA+ communities would be like spitting in the face of the regime that aims to dissolve such communities. For Megaplex to dissolve would probably be the desired outcome for them, especially with the broad regulations they're attempting to enforce.
But otherwise, the safety concerns are valid and even with the measures Megaplex is taking to make sure its attendees are safe, anything can happen especially outside the convention. Whether you attend or not is totally up to you~
Honestly, I think it'll come down to if I have a room or not. I hesitated in the window to grab one, and it may have been a miscalculation.
