But, over the years, Dallas has had an increasingly visible presence for its LGBTQ locals. Growing up, I never heard much about the gay scene in Dallas (but then again, I wasn’t really looking for it either). So, on a most recent trip home, I decided to finally dive into the deep end of Dallas. Can you blame a guy? A $2 brownie fudge sundae is hard to resist! The suburban life can be so hard… My wasted youth was spent mostly beside a swimming pool, in an heavily air-conditioned mall or in the local ice cream shop. I don’t know about you, but my hometown city is a place I saw surprisingly little of despite living there for 18 years.
