The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
According to WOAI, the NBC affiliate in the Alamo City, San Antonio City Council has denied Second Baptist Church‘s request to change the name of the street on which their church resides.
As the report points out, “Gay” is the name of a community activist of significance to the surrounding community, which wants the name of the street to remain Gay Street.
We think instead that the church should move a few blocks south to the corner of Gay/Hub.
