“We anticipate more details to follow and ask for the community’s love and support.”įort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis said a driver of a pickup truck suddenly accelerated when he was told he was next in the parade, crashing into the victims, according to WSVN-TV. This was not an attack on the LGBTQ community,” Knight said in the statement. The driver and the victims were a part of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus family, according to a statement reported by news outlets from the group’s president, Justin Knight. Wilton Manors is just north of Fort Lauderdale. The collision happened during the Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade.
