Forget Texas stereotypes; Dallas welcomes gay visitors - That's the word from Dallas tourism officials attempting to lure gay and lesbian visitors with a message that the city is a great place for them to spend their time and money.
"Big D" is a diverse metropolitan area that "has left behind stereotypes of big-haired women and rowdy cowboys тАФ that is, unless you count sassy drag queens and strapping gay rodeo champs," according to a website operated by the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"Our Secret is Out" proclaims the site, which features images of same-sex couples enjoying the local sights.
