Tarrant
County Gay Alliance (1981 - 1991?)

With their name change
in February 1991, to Tarrant County Lesbian/Gay Alliance, I presume
the newsletter name became The Alliance News. It surely did by the May
1992 issue I have scanned. |

Dallas
Gay News (1982 to 1984)
|
The Dallas Gay News Houston Publisher Henry McClurg started the Dallas Gay News basically because there was no gay paper there, other than the Metro Times. He hired Don Ritz and Robert Moore to run the paper, and the first issue was September 10, 1982. In April 1984 Ritz and Moore, logically, decided to start a newspaper in Dallas themselves, which became the excellent publication Dallas Voice, still in existence. See next listing.
