Anthony Verdugo is the leader of the Christian Family Coalition, Miami's deceptively named main anti-LGBT group. He spent most of 2013 successfully blocking an expansion of the county's human rights ordinance that would cover transgender people. His excuse: It would discriminate against those who like to discriminate against transgender people.
Every year, Miami New Times names the 12 most awful people in our community — one per month — so you can feel better about your jerk neighbors.
