The Opportunity

A Two-Fold Campaign Approach
Built for LGBTQ+ Texas

There are a variety of ways in which we can market to the LGBTQ+ Dallas community — from the Strip on Cedar Springs and the Oak Lawn core to South Dallas, the Latino LGBTQ+ market that makes this a two-language metro, the bear and circuit audiences who travel in every spring, the corporate and philanthropic room that fills the Black Tie Dinner, and Fort Worth's own ecosystem thirty miles west. Partner with Pink Media for the most comprehensive yet targeted reach into the highly-coveted LGBTQ+ consumer, with a focus on LGBTQ+ Dallas and North Texas. Our campaigns are two-fold.

First, we focus on getting your message and story out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more — geo-targeted down to the ZIP code around Cedar Springs, Oak Lawn, South Dallas, the northern suburbs and Fort Worth. Second, we get your message out via strategically-placed social media posts, both organically and utilizing paid social media advertising — on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay Network — now reaching over 1.5 million LGBTQ+ followers, with #ILoveGayDallas as the city-level presence in that network. Our success metrics are based on the visibility and performance we provide: impressions, reach, click-throughs, and engagement.

Our Campaign Framework

Part One + Part Two.
Complete LGBTQ+ Dallas Coverage.

A comprehensive strategy that reaches the LGBTQ+ Dallas market through paid advertising channels AND organic social amplification — simultaneously, year-round, and in both English and Spanish.

Part One
Hyper-Targeted Digital Advertising

We focus on getting your message and story out to a hyper-targeted LGBTQ+ audience online via traditional online advertising, mobile apps, video advertising, and more.

On the programmatic ad exchange, we layer interest and lifestyle data selects onto LGBTQ+ websites and apps, and geo-target down to the ZIP code — the Strip on Cedar Springs, Oak Lawn, South Dallas, the northern suburbs, Fort Worth, and the national feeder metros that travel in for TBRU and Purple Party.

For advanced placements, we utilize Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) technology — serving your brand films inside LGBTQ+ households on all smart devices, including Connected TVs (CTV), across the DFW DMA — the fourth-largest metro in the nation.

Display Ads Mobile Ads Video Ads CTV ACR Technology
Part Two
LGBTQ+ Dallas Community Amplification

We tap into the online conversations and communities on your brand's behalf — amplifying your Dallas story, venues, sponsorships and events within LGBTQ+ communities on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, X and more.

This includes both social media hyper-targeted advertising and our #ILoveGay social media network — now reaching over 1.5 million followers, with #ILoveGayDallas carrying the city-level conversation in a market where consistency is the credibility test.

From TBRU and Purple Party to Dallas Pride, Dallas Southern Pride, Texas Latino Pride and the Black Tie Dinner, we help your brand show up where the community already gathers — and showing up in session years earns the most trust of all.

The Map

Where LGBTQ+ North Texas
Actually Lives

"Dallas" here means the DFW Metroplex — nearly eight million people, the largest metro in Texas and fourth-largest in the nation, with Fort Worth's community its own ecosystem thirty miles west.

The Core
Oak Lawn & the Strip

The South's most storied gayborhood — rainbow crosswalks on Cedar Springs Road, legendary bars, and four decades of institutional memory. Home to the Resource Center and the $31 million LGBTQ+-welcoming senior community now rising in the neighborhood.

South & East
South Dallas & the Latino Metroplex

A majority-minority metro whose majority story runs through Dallas Southern Pride, Abounding Prosperity's work with Black gay and bisexual men and Black trans women, and Texas Latino Pride. Pair English-language buys with Spanish-language creative to reach the full market.

Thirty Miles West
Fort Worth

Its own ecosystem, with its own advocates in Fairness Fort Worth, its own Pride, and its own scorecard story — an eight-year run of perfect MEI 100s that dipped to 97. A Metroplex plan that stops at the county line isn't one.

Institutional anchors across North Texas include the Resource Center (founded 1983, one of the largest LGBTQ+ community centers in the country), Prism Health North Texas, Abounding Prosperity, AIDS Services of Dallas, Cathedral of Hope — the world's largest LGBTQ+-outreach church — the Turtle Creek Chorale, Uptown Players and the North Texas LGBT Chamber.

The Data Behind LGBTQ+ Dallas

The Numbers That Make
This Market Worth Reaching

A snapshot from the LGBTQ+ Dallas Regional Guide — the paradox market, where a hostile statehouse and a perfect-score city occupy the same map.

100

A Fortress, Brick by Brick

Dallas holds a perfect Municipal Equality Index score built entirely from municipal action — no state non-discrimination law contributes a single point, which arguably makes it the most impressive 100 in the series.

1984

Proof of Endurance

The Dallas Voice has published continuously since May 1984 — through every hostile legislative session since. In this market, a year-round schedule outperforms a June splash more decisively than almost anywhere.

45th

The Country’s Biggest Night

The Black Tie Dinner reaches its 45th annual edition on November 14, 2026 — the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ fundraising dinner, 2,000+ attendees and seven-figure annual distributions across North Texas beneficiaries plus HRC.

The Dallas Calendar

Spring Weekends, a Downtown
Pride, and November

The calendar runs on three engines — national party weekends in spring, a re-imagined civic Pride in June, and the country's biggest LGBTQ+ philanthropic night in November.

March 12–15
Texas Bear Round-Up (TBRU) — the 30th edition, one of the world's largest bear gatherings and a national travel weekend where sponsorship dollars go further.
April 30 – May 4
Purple Party Weekend — Dallas' circuit answer to Winter Party, with a charitable structure that makes participation substantive.
Saturday, June 6
Dallas Pride — a landmark move downtown, with the city's first-ever sunset parade down Main Street under the theme "Rainbows Don't Wash Away."
Juneteenth Weekend
Dallas Southern Pride — the Black LGBTQ+ Pride tradition that reaches the community a Cedar-Springs-only plan misses.
Summer
Texas Latino Pride — the Spanish-language and Latino LGBTQ+ moment in a metro where two-language creative is the baseline.
September
Pride on the Strip — the neighborhood Pride on Cedar Springs, followed by Halloween on the Strip in October.
November 14
The Black Tie Dinner — the 45th annual, and the single most important corporate-community handshake in the region. Buy the table, not just the booth.

Show up in session years especially — when the legislature is loudest is precisely when visible sponsorship earns the most trust, and when the frontline organizations most need the funding. Pink Media builds Dallas campaigns that run 24/7, 365.
