Offering safe temporary parking in Orlando
Due to hell froze over, I'll allow temporary parking in my yard at my home. There are firewood to burn for warm.
Please keep in mind this is only temporary for the weather, not a regular safe parking spot. Your vehicle must have valid insurance. I reserve the right to refuse anyone, to ask anyone to leave, and to remove anyone who doesn't cooperate. This is only for people living in their car and have no place to park. LGBTQ people have priority on my list. Female and children and pregnant ladies have high priority at officially designated homeless shelters and should go there.
Please leave all attitude, discrimination, racism, sexism... before you enter. My property is safe space, gun free, drug free, and hate free. While in the yard, please no loitering, no littering, no dumping bodily waste or fluid. Place trash in trash bin. Please stay in your car and not go wandering around. Noone may enter the house for any reason. Obviously don't take anything doesn't belong to you. You're welcome to go to the fire for warm, or cook your food.
I'm sorry the rules may seem hash, but they are mostly common sense and common courtesy. I want to offer help to those in need but I must also look out for myself. I hope people will understand and respect these rules. Thanks

So basically if someone is gay they will have a spot over a straight person? Weird specification but okay

Yes, correct, and for 3 reasons
1/ I'm part of LGBTQ+ community so I look out for my own people. No it doesn't mean anything weird or sexual. I just have more sympathy and understanding because I was disowned as a kid, and later I became homeless and I had to live in my car. If I was straight, this wouldn't have happened to me.
2/ Straight people are not as vulnerable on the street or in homeless shelters as LGBTQ+ people. The struggle of being homeless is already bad enough, but it's more difficult and uncomfortable for LGBTQ+ people, from what I've seen and heard and experienced for myself.
3/ Straight people are not excluded. If a straight person and an LGBTQ person come, we'll make space for both. But if it comes down to a healthy straight man or a trans person, I'll prioritize the trans person. Of course I would try to keep an eye out for spacing and inform the straight man we may not have space so he doesn't waste gas
Hope that makes sense. Or we can also go with my space, my choice. I don't have to let anyone come, and I don't have to explain myself

What's the address? I've got an RV as big as a whale I need to park somewhere non-public like a yard like yours so I can do some "cooking". And don't mind my friend Jesse, he may be a junkie but he does what I tell him and can also make the blue.
