Dallas LGBT LOVE not HATE!
So about what the horrible event that unfolded this Sunday after the Dallas PRIDE parade… how sad and disgusting for these things to happen in our now back yard. Hate crimes are so heartbreaking, now more than ever we need to be as alert as possible. These people are COWARDS - these people are destructive and hateful, we have come a long long way but there is still a long road ahead of us. We need to stand together as a STRONG community and take care of each other, remind ourselves to be safe because we are still being targeted and hunted.
This breaks my heart. I wish there was more that I could do at the moment to help Blake out.
Feel free to tell him to be strong (in the comments), I will send him a picture of the positive vibes as they come. I am sure being new to Dallas, seeing and meeting friendly-supportive people will make him smile.
Blake is not employed at the moment, he moved to Dallas to seek new horizons, I have set up a GoFundMe account to help him out a bit and release some stress while he recuperates.

Dallas police are searching for a group of men they say beat a man with a bat as part of a hate crime.
Officers told NBC 5 a 29-year-old man was walking near the intersection of Wycliff Avenue and Sylvester Street Sunday at about 9:15 p.m. after the Alan Ross Freedom Parade when he was approached by four men.
The men struck the victim with their hands, feet and a bat, according to police. During the attack, the men used several derogatory statements referencing the victim's perceived sexual orientation. During the prolonged assault, the men also stole property from his pockets, then left the scene, police said. The victim suffered a fractured skull and numerous cuts, abrasions and bruises.
