Wikipedia and MYTH vs. FACT.


Never trust everything you read
on the City of Lake Worth’s Wikipedia page.


Always verify what you’ve read using trusted sources as backup, e.g., the City of Lake Worth’s official website.

To see this demonstrated for yourself — why you should never trust Wikipediaclick on this link for the City’s Wikipedia page and look for text citation #21 that was recently added to the City’s Wiki page.

Text citation 21 corresponds to footnote no. 21 in the “References” section.

MYTH.

Now go back and find text citation #35 on the City of Lake Worth’s Wikipedia page and footnote
no. 35 in the reference section:

FACT.

“Lake Worth is the most gay-friendly community in Palm Beach County. The annual Gay Pride Parade for the county is held in Lake Worth. The county’s only GLBT center, Compass, is located at 201 N. Dixie Highway.”

Have a lot of fun this coming weekend at PrideFest and at the parade on Sunday in the little City of Lake Worth!

But, unfortunately — as was learned in previous PrideFest parades — this can also be an opportunity for troublemakers as well.
