Pensacola's Memorial Day weekend Pride event will carry on as scheduled despite the cancellation of several other pride events throughout Florida, the Pensacola News Journal reports. The four-day beach party typically draws crowds of more than 200,000 from across the U.S., according to the Pensacola News Journal, and its long been a Memorial Day weekend destination for many New Orleanians. But after the Florida legislature passed and proposed several anti-LGBTQ+ bills in early April, including one law aimed at censoring drag performances and Pride events, a Florida-based civil rights group issued a travel advisory warning the LGBTQ+ community of the risks associated with visiting or moving to Florida.
