We drove through downtown Dallas last night on the way to see a Jon Anderson concert (which was excellent) and the buildings were flashing all kinds of colors, it was quite a sight, I am glad I had the chance to see it. I didn't put it together until I saw this post.

The business folk in Texas are ahead of the business folk in AZ -- yes, the LGBT community does have money and they will spend it at conventions and they will use banks. Congrats friends in Texas.
