This conservative metropolis could become the nation's largest city to elect an openly gay mayor if a longtime city council member wins a runoff election later this month.

Ed Oakley's candidacy is the latest indication that Dallas' reputation as a conservative stronghold is giving way to more diversity. The city is already home to several gay elected officials, including the sheriff.

There is an area near downtown called "Oak Lawn" ...its actually a street and it's gayville USA. Ive been over there on numerous occasions. You can always feel free to move about and dress how you please (decently of course). The gay movement is very strong there and Dallas is a very accepting diverse city.
