San Antonio councilman asked pastor with reported history of anti-gay remarks to give prayer

Editor's note: This story was updated to include a written statement from Councilman Manny Pelaez. San Antonio Councilman Manny Pelaez is under fire from a colleague for inviting a pastor with a reported history of anti-LGBTQ+ remarks to give the invocation at Thursday's council meeting. That was the same meeting at which council discussed forming a permanent LGBTQ+ city advisory board and also issued a proclamation recognizing Trans Day of Visibility. The ordinance creating the board ultimately passed with District 10 conservative Marc Whyte as the sole holdout.
