Will Wendy Davis appear at gay Pride?

Despite her strong support for the LGBT community, Democrat Wendy Davis has yet to attend a gay Pride celebration this year.

Davis will get two more chances this coming weekend, when both Austin and Dallas celebrate LGBT Pride.

As of Monday morning, Davis’ campaign wasn’t saying whether she’ll attend one or both of the events. The president of Stonewall Democrats of Dallas, Jay Narey, reportedly has invited Davis to march with his group in Sunday’s parade. Four years ago, Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill White marched with Stonewall Democrats in the Dallas Pride parade.

Stonewall Democrats of Dallas has announced that Leticia Van de Putte, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, plans to march with the group this year. Van de Putte has also attended Pride celebrations in Houston and San Antonio in 2014.
