Last year throughout the month of June — LGBTQ Pride Month here in the U.S. — a brightly-colored rainbow flag centered with a white star and the seal of the city of Dallas flew atop the flag pole at City Hall for the first time. The council approved the flag — specially designed for the city by Tracy Nanthavongsa — at its regular meeting on Wednesday, June 17, and ordered that the flag be flown from the flag pole on City Hall Plaza for the rest of that month and throughout every June thereafter. The flag was raised over City Hall for the first time during a special ceremony the next day, Thursday, June 18.
