Fort Worth is looking a little brighter

And the HRC is pretty happy about it. Here’s their word:

Dan Barrett Elected to Texas House of Representatives!
 Joel Burns Elected to Fort Worth City Council!

HRC members have been active in these campaigns since Day One!

HRC staff and members have helped elect Dan Barrett to the Texas House of Representatives, moving the Texas legislature one seat closer to a fair majority.

Election Night Results:
Dan Barrett 5,365
Mark Shelton 4,913

Fort Worth has made history by electing its first openly gay City Council Member, Joel Burns.


Election Night Results:
Joel Burns 1,796
Juan Rangel 1,525

For too long Texans have been fighting against legislative leadership that seeks to attack the GLBT community. With more fair-minded legislators GLBT Texans may one day have equal justice under the law.
