These titles allowed him to travel across the Gulf Coast and attend events focused on the LGBTQ+ community.   Most recently Kurt worked to establish Pensacola’s newest LGBTQ+ safe space, a bar and restaurant called Dorothy’s in downtown Pensacola. 100 percent of the profits from Dorothy's are donated to OASIS Florida to help support their HIV/STD prevention and treatment services.

Affectionally known as dad and mom to many of their friends, Kurt lives with his husband, Jeremy, in downtown Pensacola along with their six fur babies, Just the Tip, Huckleberry Hound, Joan of Bark, Mary Puppins, Suszanne SugarBarker, and Oyster Wilde. They are widely known in the LGBTQ+ community for their Sunday night potluck movie nights, where everyone is welcomed with open arms as well as other large events they host annually.
