One of America’s most notable mayors, who is also a member of the LGBTQ+ community has been rumored for weeks to be running for US Congress.  Ft Lauderdale Mayor, Dean Trantalis was a frontrunner to run for the seat of Congressman and LGBTQ+ ally Ted Deutch covering Palm Beach and Broward Counties.  Last night Trantalis put those rumors to rest.  The answer is no. He will remain mayor of what Hotspots Magazine and Happening Out Television Network lovingly call ‘the gayest place on planet earth.’ The mayor said at a press conference that I attended “In the weeks since US Representative Ted Deutch announced his retirement, I have given much thought to the idea of running for Congress.  I have heard from many friends and neighbors with advice on what I should do. The decision to remain as your mayor has been made easier each time I attend a ribbon-cutting or join in the celebration of another milestone we have achieved.  People are warm and appreciative. I do love our city.  It truly is a great place to live, work, and enjoy.  I look forward to making each of our dreams possible.  I also look forward to working with the next member of Congress.”  Trantalis told me at the event that his pursuit to run for federal office has not yet come.  But it may.  Trantalis is one of America’s highest-ranking city officials as a gay mayor of a major metropolitan city and has done much for the LGBTQ+ community.  An example is this embracement of Sunshine Cathedral. Dean Trantalis will continue that LGBTQ+ community support. Congressional District Florida 22’s loss is our gain.
