Rapid Response Memo: Planned Far-Right Protest to Dallas Pride
On Saturday, June 3, Dallas Pride will host a paid pride event in Fair Park in South Dallas. The event, which runs from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm, includes a family area with costumed characters, face painting, and vendor booths. Security professionals will be present. BDI has observed several online calls for mobilization by far-right actors, including Protect Texas Kids. These types of events have been known to draw violent actors and the current media environment around reactions to LGBTQ+ visibility has heightened risk to LGBTQ+ communities from far-right actors.
