The city/county of Dallas itself is quite liberal. The Parkland hospital district is a county tax payer funded deal for indigent people with no health care. It's not completely free, but it's pretty darn close. It saved my ass when I lived there.

He's the kind of person we need, someone who's gay but you'd never be able to tell. If only we could stomp out the stupid "I love Lady Gaga and dancing at clubs" stereotype, just to show the world that your sexuality has very little to do with your personality.

There's plenty here in Texas who don't give a shit who you fuck, so long as it ain't their wife.

I am surprised that this is the first I have heard from this man, as he seems to be a thoroughly good and intelligent person. Quite an outlier compared to the rest of Texas' media and politicians.

Dale's a hoot.  He's well know for speaking his mind and having a few drinks in him.  He's been the sports guy on the local news for as long as I can remember.
