  • TFG Unbuttoned: LGBTQ Travelers Second Guess USA Travel Plans
    Jul 15 2025

    According to several recent studies and reports, international LGBTQ travelers are staying home or going to locations other than the USA.

  • TFG Unbuttoned: Rainbow Crosswalks in Real World Duffy’s Crosshairs
    Jul 8 2025

    According to a recent survey from Gusto, LGBTQ entrepreneurs are starting businesses in record numbers. Then Transportation Secretary Duffy is targeting Rainbow Crosswalks as distracting and political, though he is basing his opposition for the crosswalks on opinion and no facts or data. Finally, hotel etiquette and respect for staff and public area behavior is a thing of the past. Showing up in the lobby barefoot and in pajamas while talking loudly on cell calls with no shoes in common areas is more prevalent than you would think.
