I want to wish Bobby Blair big congratulations and good luck on his new show, "Being Bobby Blair."

The show premieres Aug. 8 on It's Happening Out. Blair’s journey from publishing iconic LGBTQ newspapers and magazines to creating financial products aligned with the community’s principles has been nothing short of inspiring.

Blair and his husband, Brian Neal, moved back to South Florida earlier this year — quickly immersing themselves into the community again. He brought back his popular Dancing with the South Florida stars, raising much needed funds for the Wilton Manors Stonewall Street Festival.

Now he’s bringing together multiple local LGBTQ media outlets with his new show, “Being Bobby Blair.” In it, he plans to highlight the work Out South Florida does in each episode, while his column in our paper will tie in to his weekly show.

With co-host Kitty Meow, this show promises to highlight the vibrant happenings in South Florida, showcase game-changers, and to potentially find the next local LGBTQ reality stars. Blair’s passion and commitment to progress continue to uplift us all. Congratulations and best of luck with the show — your voice will undoubtedly inspire and entertain.

Blair’s legacy, from his Olympic experience to his transformative work in LGBTQ media, has always been about breaking barriers and creating opportunities. "Being Bobby Blair" is set to be a powerful platform that not only entertains, but also empowers.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact this show will have on our community and beyond. Keep shining, Bobby! Your journey is a testament to the strength and resilience of our community.
