Promoter Deryck Todd brings his NYC party — and Brooke Lynn Hytes — to Virgin Hotels Dallas to celebrate Pride TAMMYE NASH | Managing Editor nash@dallasvoice.com 1969.
We all know — or at least, we all SHOULD know — that the spirit of freedom and the determination to demand equality that fueled the Stonewall riots is just as needed today as it was 55 years ago.
In fact, as the forces of the right-wing continue to attack the LGBTQ community on every front, we need that determination now more than ever.
