All 15 Dallas Council Members Sign Letter Supporting Gay Pride
For the first time in recent memory, if not ever, the Dallas mayor and all 14 council members have signed a letter in support of the city’s LGBT Pride celebration (above).
The letter appears in the Dallas Tavern Guild’s 2015 Pride Guide previewing the Sept. 20 parade and festival.
“Our city is honored to have the Dallas Tavern Guild and its commitment to diversity, inclusiveness and support for the rights of all people,” the letter states. “Once again, congratulations on your 32nd anniversary.”
Last year, anti-LGBT Councilwoman Vonciel Jones Hill was the only member who declined to sign the letter. However, Jones was term-limited after six years and left the council in June. Casey Thomas II, who replaced Jones Hill in District 3, signed the 2015 letter.
