'Just because you are the LGBTQ, or whatever it's called, community doesn't mean I have to suck it up and support it,' said the Pct. 1 commissioner in Corpus Christi.
ShareA county commissioner in South Texas has vocally opposed a local proclamation that recognized a Pride Week celebration, saying she shouldn't have to"suck it up and support it."
Vaughn, who was appointed to her position in March 2018, said she tried to convey her personal feelings in"a kind way." Larger cities and metropolitan areas around Texas typically dedicate a week or weekend to celebrate LGBTQ Pride. The Nueces County pride week is June 3 through June 9, according to the proclamation presented in court Wednesday by County Judge Barbara Canales, who will serve as grand marshal of Saturday's Pride Week parade.
