County Commissioner Theresa Daniel presented a proclamation at Dallas County Commissioners Court today, June 5, declaring June Pride Month in Dallas County. Commissioner Elba Garcia seconded and the resolution was adopted.
Members of the LGBT community participated by introducing who they represented. Councilman Adam Medrano told commissioners the LGBT Task Force is working on proposals for an LGBT homeless shelter that he hoped the county will help participate in. Resource Center, Cathedral of Hope, Rainbow LULAC, Planned Parenthood and Stonewall Democrats were among the groups represented.
As has become a custom, Commissioner Mike Cantrell was absent for the proclamation.
