But then parade moved from Oak Lawn to Fair Park in 2019, and — since the park can’t accommodate a September event at the same time it’s getting ready for the State Fair — Dallas Pride moved to June.
That left something missing in September. That September tradition started in the early 1980s when a federal judge for North Texas, Jerry Buchmeyer, declared the state’s sodomy law unconstitutional within his jurisdiction.
While the rest of the state was still living under that antiquated law, our portion of the state wasn’t. And the LGBTQ community celebrated.
