- Bzzzt. That was Houston. A few things worth noting; Dallas uses the
- excuses that homosexual sex is against the law in TX from hiring openly
- gay cops; none of the other major cities in TX use this excuse. With
- the threat of a lawsuit, the Dallas City Council _still_ decided to
- refuse to hire Mica England (a lesbian who wanted to work for DPD).
- When a court found in Mica's favor, they continued to fight. Why?
- Who knows - it's Dallas.
