Of course, of those, none went as big in their pride celebrations this past weekend as the Double Wide did. Yes, pretty much everyone this side of the Texas Rangers is giddily in on the Pride action at this point - including some of Deep Ellum’s biggest mainstays. Pride is a game City Hall is in on, too: After having raised a city-seal rainbow flag above Dallas City Hall Plaza last year, the city even sold full-sized, miniature and sticker versions of that flag this year. Sure, the bars along the traditional strip still go all out in their celebrations, but the “official” Dallas Pride ordeal now takes place over in Fair Park. These days, the events celebrating the city’s (and its surrounding region’s) LGBTQ+ population happen all over the place.
