PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. ( WKRG ) — It's a celebratory weekend on Pensacola Beach, as rainbow flags fly high and groups of LGBTQ+ folks pile onto the white sands for a weekend full of beach fun and events, like raves and live music.  'Everybody brings out their tents and we just hangout and everybody has fun,' said Pensacola resident Jacob Stockwell. But, for those in attendance, this weekend comes after prominent activist groups, like the NAACP started issuing travel advisories, warning minority groups, including the LGBTQ+ community, that recent Florida legislation may pose a risk to their safety.
