Abstract
In this podcast, Adam Cohen interviews two representatives from the Parliament House who have lived in Central Florida and worked there practically since it opened, giving us insight into how the GLBT community in Central Florida, and even outside the country, came to see the establishment as a second home. We will see how the creation of a popular gay establishment, in a place not known at the time for its gay community, is a difficult task, and look at its journey to becoming one of Central Florida’s most popular attractions.
