Fort Lauderdale is home to tropical beaches, fantastic restaurants, beautiful waterways...and steamy bisexual threesomes? A story recently posted on the verified Instagram account for Visit Lauderdale seems to be marketing to an often overlooked part of our community, the B in the LGBTQ. The 14-second video — which was posted on Sunday night and then promptly taken down — captures an apparent ménage à trois between a sultry brunette and two hunks at a rooftop pool ostensibly somewhere in Fort Lauderdale. The woman gazes into the eyes of the man to her left, passionately caresses the face of the man on her right, and gazes toward the camera as text appears on the screen: "WELCOME THRILL-SEEKERS. VISIT LAUDERDALE." The video is curiously captioned, "If you like the beach as much as you like nightlife, then get ready for the time of your life." Zachary Durand, a spokesperson for Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, tells New Times via email that the ad was commissioned by the county, not the city: "This ad was approved by the team of Visit Lauderdale. The mayor does not participate in Visit Lauderdale’s marketing discussions or decisions." The abortive ad appeared less than three months after the Broward County Government Facebook page posted an ethnically insensitive dancing-taco GIF to commemorate the first day of National Hispanic Heritage Month. That might explain why they featured fewer tacos and more sausages this time around.
