Dallas City Council member Vonciel Jones Hill is objecting to a billboard promoting public education about HIV, according to the Dallas Observer.
In a letter to a local Fox reporter, Hill raised concerns that the ad, which features a visual of two black men embracing along with information on how to locate HIV testing facilities, sends the message that “African American men who engage in homosexual conduct [are] presented as acceptable.”
Hill, who told the Dallas Voice in 2010 that she would never attend a gay Pride parade, has cited religion as past justification for her anti-LGBT stances, stating that “all people are created equal under God, but there are acts that God does not bless.
