Endorsing the same Laura Miller, who during her last run in city government, recommended denial of LGBT nightlife dance hall license renewals…saying “if you want to dance at 2am, you can turn your radio on at home.”
Endorsing the same Laura Miller who , within three (3) months of inauguration as Dallas Mayor in 2002, prioritized and passed the City of Dallas nondiscrimination ordinance 13-2 at the horseshoe that still to this day protects all Dallas residents, workers, and visitors from discrimination based on real or perceived sexual orientation and real or perceived gender identity in employment, housing, and public accommodations.
btw, she did not single out LGBT nightlife dance hall license renewals — her stance applied to all other dance hall licenses as well. And it did not prevail. A citywide NDO in ink on the books vs fleeting dialog/talk about an idea that went nowhere…hmm.
