Church Tees Up Texas Pride Crosswalk Conflict! - The Logical Leftist
In this eye-opening video, we tackle the heated debate over pride symbols in public spaces, spotlighting the Oak Lawn United Methodist Church's courageous stand against Texas Governor Greg Abbott's order to remove the Pride Crosswalk. Senior Pastor Rachel Griffin-Allison passionately articulates the church's mission to create a sanctuary of hope for the LGBTQ+ community by painting their steps in rainbow colors, symbolizing safety, dignity, and belonging for all.
As we delve into the community's reaction, we’ll cover the protests that erupted in Houston, where residents took to the streets to defend their right to express pride. We’ll also hear from Dallas city council members who are challenging Abbott’s directive, asserting that the rainbow represents inclusion and hope, not a political agenda.
Join us for a powerful exploration of resilience, community, and the fight for equality in Texas. This video is a must-watch for anyone passionate about LGBTQ+ rights and social justice.
