Equality March Texas, the new group founded by the co-chairs of this year’s Million Gay March, will hold its inaugural meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18 at Resource Center Dallas, 2701 Reagan St.
Equality March Texas co-founder Daniel Cates said the new group’s primary mission will be to prepare for next year’s march. The march, which drew 1,200 people this year, is a yearly event to commemorate the June 28 anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion.
Next year, Cates said, the group will work to recruit organizers for marches in every major city in Texas. The other founder of Equality March Texas is Latisha McDaniel, who co-chaired the Million Gay March along with Cates.
