On no. Tampa definitely got worse transexual/drag queen vibes than Orlando. Tampa just has a better straight nightlife overall. I felt like Orlando only catered to the gay lifestyle at times. It was rough.Yeah. Orlando is certainly a stain on the state, but Tampa is pretty normal as far as cities go. I prefer rural life myself, but my faunts and uncles are city slickers living in Tampa. Seems pretty normal to me, but I dont spend much time out there. I like to catch a few Bolts games a year, never have to pass a homless encampment, never stepped on a dope needle...not to say it aint there, i have never seen it. You certainly have more progressive types but no hostile in your face left wingers and big city problems.
