Feature

Most Eligible List 2026

By Staff

Looking for love? South Florida is home to tens of thousands of LGBTQ individuals searching for love — sometimes in all the wrong places. For this Valentine’s Day issue, we’re shining a spotlight on a few of them. 

Throughout December and January, readers submitted nominations — whether for themselves or others — and we selected a handful of nominees to feature. The response was incredible, with so many wonderful nominees. We only wish we could have included more. 

We hope to continue this feature in the future, celebrating some of the region’s most interesting and eligible LGBTQ individuals on their journey to finding love. 

Interested in meeting one of these individuals? Email us at Love@OutSFL.com and we’ll make sure to connect you.

Friday's Furry Friend

For six years, Kodak (ID 710762) had a family that he loved, and they loved him. Then the landlord said he couldn't stay. It was a sad day for this beautiful dog. He did nothing but provide love to his family, and now they're gone. Kodak is high energy, so he will need a family that will let him run, go on walks, and play and play and play. He likes hard toys, he's very treat motivated, and this scholar knows his basic commands and will be proud to show you. He's great with people, kids and other dogs, but dog meets are always recommended. As high energy as he is, he also appreciates the opportunity to cuddle with you, and he adores affection. Can Kodak by your new BFF?

WANING CRESCENT MOON IN CAPRICORN: Seeing clearly through emotional fog 

You may feel clarity slipping as someone else frames the narrative around decisions that affect your stability, both physical and emotional. In career or finances, advice that sounds reassuring could be steering you toward misdirected effort or investment; pause, verify, and trust your own assessment. In love, the appearance of emotional steadiness may be masking deeper truths, quietly leaving your needs unmet. Ground your choices in what is tangible and accountable, not merely comforting. When you stop outsourcing judgment and face uncertainty directly, you protect your boundaries and regain your footing.
