Irving officials disappointed in national survey ranking city unfriendliest to LGBT in Texas
Irving officials say [they are disappointed with a recent nationwide survey](that put the city in a tie for least LGBT-friendly in Texas.
The city received a score of 6 out of a possible 100 points on the Human Rights Campaign's Municipal Equality Index for a second year in a row. The nationwide survey ranks cities based on how much local laws and policies foster greater acceptance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.
In a brief email response to The Dallas Morning News, city spokeswoman Susan Rose did not address the overall treatment of LGBT people in Irving, but instead focused on the city's handling of its employees.
And: Is North Texas LGBT-friendly? It [depends if you live in Dallas or in Denton.](

Dallas' Post Malone... rockstar?
Fewer phrases in the English language have been more grossly overused than "Rockstar," the title of the new single from Grapevine's own Post Malone.
CEOs are the rock stars of business. Plastic surgeons are the rock stars of medicine. The teen at your local McDonald's who flips burgers really fast is the rock star of the kitchen.
