August 27, 2016
Greetings, As Mayor of the City of Orlando, it is my pleasure to welcome you to A Truly Gay Affair LGBT Wedding Show at B Resort & Spa. Orlando is a City for everyone. We are known worldwide as an inclusive city that welcomes people of all ages, races and sexual orientation to enjoy our city. Orlando is home to one of the nation's largest LGBT communities. The City of Orlando was one of the first cities in Central Florida to adopt a domestic partnership registry that now includes more than 1,320 registered couples, and allows same-sex couples many of the same basic rights that other couples in committed relationships enjoy. Marriage equality has always been a priority for my administration and in 2015 I was honored to preside over one of Florida’s first same-sex wedding ceremonies. During that ceremony, 44 gay and lesbian couples were united in marriage and were afforded the safety net of more than 1,200 legal and economic protections for themselves and their families. That historic day publicly announced our commitment to protect the rights of the LGBT community. For those of you who are first time visitors to our area, you will discover that Orlando is rich with opportunities for recreation, cultural entertainment, educational resources and business enterprises. You will also notice that when it comes to service and hospitality, Orlando is second to none. I hope you enjoy your time in the Orlando area and take advantage of this unique fair that will help you to successfully plan your dream wedding. Sincerely,
Buddy Dyer Mayor
