According to the report, if same-sex marriage
were legalized today, wedding planning would
bring jobs, tourists and lots of cash.
Of the state’s 46,000 same-sex couples,
23,200 would marry over the next three years, the
report estimates. That means:
• Total spending on wedding arrangements and
tourism by resident same-sex couples and their
guests would add an estimated $181.6 million to
the state and local economy of Texas over the
course of three years, with a $116.2 million boost
in the first year alone.
• This economic boost would add $14.8 million
in sales tax revenue to state and local coffers.
• Spending related to same-sex couples’ wed-
ding ceremonies and celebrations would generate
523 to 1,570 full- and part-time jobs in the state
The study follows a federal ruling in February
striking down Texas’ ban on same-sex marriage.

Chris Miklos to be remembered
at Dallas Eagle Friday night
Chris Miklos, the popular Dallas bear who died
suddenly in his sleep this week at age 40, will be
remembered by his friends Friday night, July 25,
with a celebration at the Dallas Eagle.
“Join us for a night of celebrating and dancing,
the way Chris would have wanted us to,” the invi-
tation reads. Folks will start gathering for the cele-
bration at 11 p.m.
Chris graduated from the University of Akron
and was a clinical research associate, performing
medical testing on experimental drugs to treat a
variety of ailments, including HIV. He traveled
weekly for his work, which he loved. His friends re-
member him for all he did for the community.
He leaves behind a younger brother and his par-
ents. Services are pending.

Judge tosses Colorado
marriage ban, stays ruling
U.S. District Judge Raymond Moore issued his
ruling Wednesday, July 23, overturning Colorado’s
ban on same-sex marriage. His ruling comes less
than a month after a state district judge ruled in a
separate case that the ban is unconstitutional.
Moore rejected Attorney General John Suthers’
argument that failing to issue a stay would be
harmful to the state and cause legal confusion. But
the judge did temporarily stay his ruling to give
Suthers’ office until 8 a.m. on Aug. 25 to appeal his
ruling to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Same-sex marriage would be
an economic boom in Texas
A report released by the LGBT think tank
Williams Institute at the University of California Los
Angeles School of Law estimates that legalized
same-sex marriage in Texas would give new
meaning to the phrase “Texas Miracle.”
Researchers able to
eliminate HIV from human cells
Researchers at Temple University School of
Medicine in Philadelphia say they have been able
to completely eliminate HIV from human cell cul-
tures.
Kamel Khalili, PhD., professor and chair of Tem-
ple’s Department of Neuroscience, call the ad-
vancement “one important step on the path
toward a permanent cure for AIDS.” But Khalili
added that while it is “an exciting discovery,” the
procedure is “not yet ready to go into the clinic.”
He added, “It’s a proof of concept that we’re mov-
ing in the right direction.”

Taylor named interim
City Council ap-
pointed Council-
woman Ivy R. Taylor
as its interim mayor
Tuesday, July 24, fol-
lowing Julian Castro’s
resignation in the
wake of his appoint-
ment as the new U.S.
tion and gender identity.
According to the San Antonio News-Express,
she voted no over concerns that it would stifle reli-
gious freedom.
At her swearing in however, Taylor said she
looks forward to working with the entire commu-
nity.
Chuck Smith of Equality Texas said in a state-
ment he looks forward to working with Taylor “to
ensure that the equal opportunities envisioned by
the city’s nondiscrimination ordinance (NDO) can
become a reality for the 1.3 million people who
make San Antonio their home.”
Taylor, who has been on the council since 2009,
will be the city’s first African-American mayor. She
will serve until the May 2015 elections and has said
in the past she would not run for the open position.
