In response to recent actions by Florida’s official tourism board to remove LGBTQ+ travel information from its official website, Connecticut is stepping forward to reaffirm its commitment to being one of the top most welcoming state in the nation.
As LGBTQ+ History Month approaches in October, Connecticut’s tourism office is highlighting the state’s enduring tradition of inclusivity and diversity, reminding everyone that Connecticut is a great place to live, work, and play – no matter who you are or who you love.
“We want to send a strong message to everyone, particularly to those in Florida—and across the country—who may feel their needs and identities are being sidelined, to know that in Connecticut you will always find acceptance” said Anthony Anthony, Chief Marketing Officer for the State of Connecticut. “Here, diversity is celebrated, and we remain committed to ensuring everyone who visits or lives here feels valued, respected, and free to be yourself.”
“Our message is clear,” said Anthony. “In Connecticut, everyone is welcome. Unlike Florida which has removed LGBTQ+ resources from its tourism website, we are proud to prominently feature out commitment to inclusivity across all our platforms, including CTvisit.com. Our marketing efforts showcase Connecticut as a beacon of safety, acceptance, and opportunity for all, ensuring our state remains a destination where everyone can truly belong.”
