Houston Gay Pride Rejects Anti-LGBT Activist’s Application To Appear In Parade



Dave Wilson (above), a well-known anti-LGBT activist in Houston, was granted preliminary approval to appear in the city’s gay Pride parade taking place later this month.

However, Pride Houston Inc. has now rejected Wilson’s application after his entry was brought to the group’s attention.

Wilson, of Houstonians For Family Values, led efforts to pass a charter amendment prohibiting domestic partner benefits in Houston in 2001. He also made headlines in 2013 when he deceived voters into thinking he was black to get elected to the Houston Community College board.

Wilson recently led a petition drive to enshrine a transgender bathroom ban in the city charter, which was ultimately rejected.

And indicated he was black, registered at an address which was his warehouse. This a$$hole is also a Republican. Talk about voter fraud, here is another example. What an A$$.
