That’s what we need, apparently:

Houston hosts one of the biggest and best gay pride parades in the county, while Dallas’ parade pales in comparison. Yet, Big D recently made headlines by creating a direct link to gay travel on the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau Web site.

“Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender travelers spend $65 billion a year on travel and we want to make sure Dallas positions itself to take advantage of that,” said Dallas CVB chief executive officer Phillip Jones.

When viewers visit Dallas’ Web site and click on the Diverse Dallas button, the site shows pictured icon groups that spotlight segmented communities of the city’s population, including the African-American, Asian and Hispanic communities. The Web site now includes a link to the GLBT community.

The Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau Web site doesn’t have anything similar.

Get ready for Mayor White to spring into action.
