Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. Everyday since I’ve been a member of the Dallas City Council these two trans flags have been displayed right out in front. It’s important to me that everyone knows they are welcome in #District6.
To those of the trans experience, I personally do see you and will continue to be a strong advocate to support you. You are visible in my office today and always.
Special thanks to Mayor Eric Johnson for bringing forward a proclamation (in the photos below) introduced by MPT Adam Medrano. It is rare to be given the opportunity to sign a Mayoral Proclamation and I am thankful to have been added as a member of the LGBTQ community along with my colleagues CMs Chad West and Adam Bazaldua.
