Just three years after the riots at Stonewall shed light on the discrimination of the LGBTQ+= community, Dallas' own LGBTQ citizens gathered in a crowd of about 300 to march through Downtown proudly proclaiming that queer was here and the community was prepared to fight for our rights. But anyone who travels to this queer haven should know the hard-fought history that made it possible for the community to prosper.
Visitors to the Oak Lawn community now enjoy a safe space to have brunch with friends at spots like Lucky's Cafe, dance in clubs and bars such as Round Up Saloon or Sue Ellen's, and of course celebrate Dallas Pride every year. Dallas is home to one of the largest LGBTQ populations in the country and the largest in Texas.
