In the 1954 when Miami went through a brief perd of “moral panic” about the cy’s gay bars, public officials Fort Lrdale assured the cizens that there were no threats and they had the suatn unr ntrol. The Fort Lrdale News ran a multi-part seri on homosexualy Broward noted for s lack of sensatnalism and tepidns.

The warm weather and betiful beach also ma Fort Lrdale a perfect statn for the growg lbian and gay tourist tra. While some gay men and lbians opened up early gutho and most hotels did not blk when two men or women rented a sgle room, was the openg the mid-1970s of the Marl Beach Hotel as Ameri’s first explicly gay rort hotel that explicly marked Fort Lrdale as a gay tourist statn.

It also highlighted Marl Beach and s gay clientele, notg the hotel’s natnal advertisg mpaign and s reputatn as a popular gay rort hotel. One of his major goals wh to revalize Fort Lrdale tourism, In Clay’s view and the view of most of the cy’s tablishment, the prence of an openly gay hotel on the beach ed any chanc of drawg tourist tra.

” The head of the cy’s Hotel Rort and Hotel Associatn agreed wh and noted that the prence of a gay hotel would have an adverse enomic effect on the beach. The cy’s major newspaper The Fort Lrdale News headled the story of the mayor’s disapproval “Mayor Shaw is Adamant-The Cy’s Gays Mt Go. ” Acrdg to the newspaper the mayor’s goal was to elimate every vtige of homosexual activy om the beach.

However Shaw knew that tryg to shut down a legimate bs, even if was gay, was a difficult proposn.

Earlier that year Miami, Jack Campbell, owner’s of the Club Baths, Miami’s gay bathhoe, had succsfully sued the cy for harassment their attempts to shut down. And as one 81 year old widow and 40 year rint of the Bach noted, “I n’t object to (the gay clientele).

His overall goal, acrdg the to News, was to stop the proliferatn of “gays and the bs they patronized. Ten years earlier, the threat of a grand jury vtigatn would have been enough to shut down the Marl Beach or at least stop s terg to a gay clientele.

Furthermore as Police Capta Ron Cochran noted, “homosexual men are not typilly volved vlent crim” and tryg to police sexual activy-homosexual or otherwise-required a e of sre police rourc better put elsewhere.
