Condoms and douches and swings, oh my!
These are just some of the things found in a report that tries to justify the abrupt closing of Wilton Social Club.
OutSFL has the Reporting Officer Narrative, which describes what an undercover Broward Sheriff’s Office Oakland Park officer says he saw.
Excerpts include: “While checking me in, I observed a large quantity of protective sexual condoms in the rear staff room behind him.”
“I was then showed [sic] many of the ‘play room’ for sexual activity and the areas that have a hand held douche for cleaning the internal area of the anus prior to sexual activity.”
Another line: “One play room had equipment to be strapped to swing apparatus or wooden boards.”
Nowhere in the report does he say he saw anyone having sex on the premises.
Condoms on site? Before PrEP & PEP, bars and restaurants had bowls of them sitting out to promote public health. Douches can be found in nearly any drug store, and having swings/slings and other accouterments is far from illegal.

Just a reminder that not all our Pride celebrations are centered on Wilton Drive. There are plenty of other events going on to celebrate our heritage and the strides we’ve made and to remember the sacrifices made by those who came before us.

Wilton Manors is an island city, yet somehow has lacked a top-tier store to maximize all the aqua opportunities our area offers. That problem is in the past.

Akeim Ford works at RockHard Lovers Boutique on Wilton Drive and says he highly enjoys working there. “I
love the atmosphere,” Ford said. “It's a family atmosphere because
after a while you get your regular customers in there. So you get to
know the things they need, but you're always meeting new people because
the new people are always coming through the area.” He’s
also an illustrator and moved down to South Florida in 2009. He was
born in New York and grew up in North Florida. He also lived in Missouri
while he attended high school.
“I
love [South Florida],” he said. “It's starting to become a love-hate
because things are getting too expensive. I don't feel like the changes
that they're making are for people to be able to live and work here.”
