SEBRING - Picnic tables were covered with chips, peanuts, pretzels and other goodies.
Both kids and adults soared high on swings, and a volleyball game attracted a crowd.
Regular passersby would have likely never known that this was a Sunday afternoon gathering in the park for the gay-lesbian group Rainbow Family.
The fledgling gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender group first met in June and formally meets socially once a month.
I lived in the Tampa Bay area and over there is a place called Gulf Port which by the residences is nicknamed Gay Port. Its a nice place, but its not cheap to live there. That is interesting that Sebring had a town open up like that. Would be worth the drive from Orlando to check it out.
