| Quote: | An openly gay Plano City Council candidate says his job with Collin County is in jeopardy because of his sexual orientation.
The county Commissioners Court has tentatively scheduled an April 15 public hearing to discuss Justin Nichols' status as coordinator of the county's teen court program, commissioners said.
County officials refused to provide details about the hearing or which commissioner brought the item forward. But Mr. Nichols, 23, fears that some commissioners want him fired following a news article that mentioned his sexual orientation. |

I must admit that I'm not super surprised. Dallas is one of the most liberal areas of Texas, but Plano is a holdout of Conservative values.

Agreed. I lived in Dallas for several months (and decided it wasn't my thing).
