Unique Option believes in Community and being involved with causes that matter and that make a difference in the ongoing fight for equality. When presented the opportunity to work with Hot Spots Magazine- Florida's largest & oldest gay weekly publication in sponsoring their booth for the 9th annual Stonewall Festival in Ft. Lauderdale, we were definitley interested.

Pride of Greater Fort Lauderdale hosts the annual Street Festival to celebrate the Stonewall Rebellion on New York's Christopher Street in June of 1969, which is recognized as the catalyst for the modern-day movement towards LGBT rights.

This year, the theme was entitled- Sizzling with Pride! An estimated 40,000 people attended the two-day event the organizers were thrilled with the results and noted the event as a success, we were excited to be involved.
