“LGBT (lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender) and queer”. AND queer? Is
there some aberrant behavior not covered by the abbreviation that I
don’t know about or is this just legalese to throw in sex with the
kitchen sink if you like?

As a long time and former resident of Dade County and the City of Miami, I read the two articles recently printed with a grin and considerable interest. Miami-Dade is really a schizophrenic place. You have South Beach where totally self-absorbed rich children take off their clothes and do drugs. You have a two lane Calle Ocho where Hispanic truck drivers routinely stop, completely blocking traffic, leave their vehicles to get a cafecito and converse for half an hour in rapid fire Cuban Spanish at an outdoor window. There is Coconut Grove, the formerly chi-chi place to live, now overtaken by newer and ever larger castles — Star Island and its environs — where, if you go a block off Main Street, you are likely to be killed and eaten.
p>I see it as an episode of Emeril Live! A polyglot of people, lightly basted in tanning oil, broiled in the tropic sun; scrambled by hurricanes and — take it up a notch —BAM! — by spicing with drugs, wealth, poverty and violence. All topped off by a sauce of buffoonish corruption. It is a HOOT! br> —
