## Resource

Southlake City Council just blindsided LGBTQ organizers by unanimously denying a permit for this year’s Pride Kel-So festival — despite last year’s event drawing 2,500 family-friendly attendees and meeting all guidelines. No reason was given, leaving organizers stunned and scrambling to find a way forward, even considering downsizing to avoid the permit threshold. The church that hosted last year’s event stands behind the event as a unifying force, while one council member voiced opposition over past protests — but the council itself stayed silent on why they shut the door.
