Unity, trust, dialogue according to the Dallas Morning News. The ommission of Gays.
This article in the Dallas Morning News shows who Gays figure in the scheme of things in Dallas.
Subscriptions are free.
The importance of this article is to show that under the facade of the progressive Dallas, and not too far below, is the reality of the homophobic Dallas in which the humanity of Gays don’t count.
“Project Unity to host event Tuesday aimed at building trust through open dialogue,” Dallas Morning News, Dec. 9, 2024.
The subtitle is:
Group’s Together We Dine event seeks to bridge political and racial divides.
From the article.
The initiative, sponsored by Project Unity in partnership with the Dallas Bar Association and Common Ground USA, is designed to create an opportunity to foster open discussions on race, politics and other significant topics, all while sharing a meal, organizers say. [Boldface added.]
This building trust and stuff doesn’t involve the LGBT. There evidently is not felt that there is any need to dine with the LGBT or open discussions with the LGBT.
Dallas Bar Association
Dallas Bar Association website.
These are their Resources for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging. I didn’t see any LGBT content.

This is the real Dallas. The local so-called leadership has this very self-congratulatory belief in that Dallas is a great city for the LGBT, but it isn’t. The local LGBT so-called leadership has to believe that Dallas is great in order to not confront their failure.
Though getting the Dallas Bar Association to give up the Confederacy is some type of progress. Dallas Observer, June 23, 2021, “Belo Garden Will Be Renamed, but Dallas Is Still Full of Confederate Iconography.

Project Unity DEI Solutions Webpage.
The titles are:
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mission Driven Solutions.
Influencing influences to make a measureable impact.
Their diversity, equity, and inclusion doesn’t include the LGBT.

When you look at the partners you begin to see why there is not concern with the LGBT.
For those of you wanting to make excuses for them. Would they accept a Klan chapter, an Neo-Nazi group, a Christian identity church? No they would not.
African American Pastors Coalition is mentioned. Their new name is Coalition of Americans for Action and Principles. It is announced at this webpage.

This is the about us.
Some articles:
Oct. 21, 2015, “Join CAAP at the Stand For Truth Conference.”
Stand For Truth
Understanding Homosexuality – The Politically Incorrect Truth
Join the Leading Experts Standing for Truth
There is a poster stating:
Join us for this FIRST-TIME gathering of national experts, therapists, doctors, attoneys, religious leaders, former homosexuals, parents and friends of former homosexuals, children of homosexual parents, ….

July 28, 2015, “Kenyan Leaders Respond to Pres. Obama’s Gay Rights Message.”
The article is a lot of ranting.

Jan. 14, 2020, “Tell Congress to Respect the Language of Traditional Marriage!”.
In January 2020, Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA) introduced HR 94, the “Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act of 2019.”
As the title indicates, the purpose of this bill is to erase language referring to “husbands” and “wives” from federal law, replacing it with genderless language like “spouse” or “married couple.”
This is an example of the endless campaign to change our culture by attacking language. It’s part of a broader effort to force people to use “preferred pronouns” and otherwise erase all references to biological gender and traditional marriage … all in the name of forwarding a radical Leftist agenda.

One of the Partners is the African American Pastors Coaltion whose Dallas chapter is lead by Bryan Carter.

It is in the bio of Bryan Carter at this anti-LGBT organization that he is the leader of the Dallas Chapter.

Thanksgiving Square is involved.
There are major corporations quite willing to work with this homophobic mess. American Airlines, AT&T, Bank of Texas, Capitol One. Brookshires, Toyota, Texas Instruments, Mavericks, Uber, Williams Chicken, WFAA, Sewell Lexus of Dallas.
Also, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. (LGBT rights I guess aren’t human.)
The Dallas Independent School District is listed. SMU is listed. State Fair is listed, as are the United Way, North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church.
This is an other example how UMC posturing about the humanity of the LGBT is rather shallow.
What do we learn from this?
The importance of this article is to show that under the facade of the progressive Dallas, and not too far below, is the reality of the homophobic Dallas in which the humanity of Gays don’t count.
