If you can avoid the super political people, florida is hella dope. Is it crazy, sure, but theres tons of cool shit to do and has absolutely beautiful nature. (im not from florida either lol NYer here)
Stick to major metro areas. Orlando on south. Once you get away from the beaches and tourist areas, it’s farms and swamps and small towns. If you’re paranoid come down to South Florida, we have a huge gay population, gay beaches, etc. My (gay male couple) neighbors are always out doing something, flags in tow.
As far as minorities / POC, shit … that’s half of everyone. You’ll have to go looking for trouble or be stupid or unaware and stumble into a less reputable area to get into trouble.

Is it safe for minorities? PoC and LGBTQ?

However do plan on having your car broken into.
No mention of trans people, which is odd given that Florida is a Do Not Travel state for its government’s efforts to criminalize being transgender.
