Out South Florida is a South Florida-based LGBTQ alternative weekly newspaper founded in 2023.[1] It was created as a revival for an LGBTQ news source in South Florida after the shutdown of South Florida Gay News.
History
South Florida Gay News was founded in 2009 by Norm Kent.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In May 2023, the newspaper announced it would be shutting down following Kent's death.[9] Former staff members launched Out South Florida in June 2023 to fill the gap that the closing of South Florida Gay News left.[9]
On June 2nd 2023, Out South Florida released their first news article, which was a "DeSantis Watch", providing updates on political statements and actions taken by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, during the 2024 election primaries.[10]
