For Pride month, council members Omar Narvaez and Adam Medrano wanted to light up downtown in Pride colors.

Narvaez got the idea he’d like to light up the Marjorie Hunt Hill Bridge in rainbow colors. Then he got the estimate: $30,000 to purchase the filaments that would be needed plus installation. So he looked around downtown and remembered the Omni Hotel. “Hey, we own that,” he said to himself. So on behalf of the city’s Pride at City Hall events coordinated by the city’s LGBT employees, he asked the Omni to light up in pride colors.

Medrano ran with that and asked other building owners to light up in Pride colors for the first weekend in June. He got a commitment from three others. But when it came time to light up downtown, at least six other buildings also showed their Pride.

Reunion Tower included Pride colors in the swirling ball. Bank of America Tower — that’s the building that was known for years as just “the green building” because it was outlined in only one unchangeable color and its name changed as its owner kept changing — displayed the versatility of its updated lighting with a range of rainbow lighting. Thanksgiving Tower had a rainbow around its roof line. Mosaic, a downtown residence, doesn’t normally do light displays, but it had six bulbs in rainbow colors pointing down from its roof. And AT&T lit up its headquarters building.

But AT&T did much more than that.

“As a longtime supporter of the LGBTQ community, AT&T is proud to announce a $1 million donation and multi-year initiative with The Trevor Project, the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning young people,” the company announced in a press release.

AT&T’s $1 million contribution is the single largest in The Trevor Project’s 20-year history. Trevor Project is a suicide prevention hotline targeting LGBT teens. Texas and the surrounding area accounts for the largest portion of Trevor’s calls.

In addition to the $1 million contribution, AT&T will add $675,000 in AT&T products, services, technology and connectivity expertise.

The contribution should quadruple the number of LGBT youth that can be served.
