Pride 2020: The Road to Equality

In honor of the Stonewall Uprising, each June Americans celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month. We do too, and as the month is wrapping up, we are sharing some of the significant milestones that have taken place since then on the road to equality.

Happy Pride 2020

Dallas, Oak Cliff, and whenever we’re celebrating with you. This year pride is going virtual.

“The LGBTQ+ community has always become more resilient in the face of uncertainty, and we are doing that today in the midst of this pandemic,” Jaron Turnbow, executive director of Dallas Pride, noted. “Pride is not just about one event; it’s about celebrating a spirit of community that no virus can destroy. It’s an exciting prospect to reach an even bigger audience virtually, and to bring our message to the living rooms of supporters across the DFW Metroplex and beyond in an inclusive way.”

Also, this is the city’s first Pride with the LGBTQ-Themed Rainbow Crosswalks in Oak Lawn. If you haven’t seen them yet, you should!
