from the publisher As the publisher of Hotspots Media Group, I am so proud to introduce the inaugural edition of Hotspots Magazine dedicated to Central Florida. We remain, as always, committed to serving the local LGBT community. Our community is resilient, as we noticed in the past few weeks in the wake of the tragedy in Orlando. We are so proud to be a part of the LGBT community here, and we're thankful you've accepted us into your lives. After many years of service, it's time to build an all new Hotspots dedicated to the very people we love. Our dedicated Central Florida team will include JB Burgos, Mike Halterman, Tom Christ, Jerry (Scrappy) Perez, Tony Fowler, Chris Stephenson, and more! You asked for it, you got it! Hotspots Central is here! Florida has been Hotspots' home for more than 30 years: we live here, we work here, and we are 100% Florida. We know that you appreciate everything we do and we thank you for your tremendous support. We are very excited to start this next chapter and we look forward to helping you grow your business. We will be in touch with you very soon to let you know just how much you mean to us!
