Will Heron’s Intergalacti mural along McKinney Avenue at Bowen Street. (David Taffet/Dallas Voice) Artist Will Heron painted an LGBTQ-themed mural in Uptown DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com In the early 1990s, when developers began buying properties along McKinney Avenue, they complained about just one thing: They couldn’t market these new buildings because they were in Oak Lawn.

lesbian lgbtq Transgender How the Head of a Shelter for Young L.G.B.T.Q. Adults Spends Sundays

Wendy Kaplan is the director of Trinity Place Shelter, which houses up to 10 young people at any given time — most of them transgender men and women of color — and steers them toward permanent housing, as well as professional or educational goals they set for themselves. The shelter, an independent nonprofit, was originally a pilot project of Trinity Lutheran Church of Manhattan, and still occupies its basement on the Upper West Side. It lets residents stay up to a year and half and welcomes individuals over the age of 21, a typical age cutoff for many youth shelters.
