Six ways to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community.

Dallas is home to the sixth largest LGBTQ+ community in the nation and is one of the most welcoming, gay-friendly cities in the country. For 40 years, Dallas residents have celebrated Pride and “living out proud” throughout Pride Month, which moved from September to June in 2019. Here are a few ways you can celebrate the LGBTQ+ community this month.
