Tell Baylor's Tom Landry Fitness Center: Recognize LGBT Families


Tell Baylor's Tom Landry Fitness Center: Recognize LGBT Families
The Issue
Everyone likes a workout partner, especially if that partner is the love of your life. After all, what better way is there to end the day than running on a treadmill next to your wife, husband, or partner, catching up on life while collectively getting in better shape?
It's just a shame that one Dallas-based gym has to rain on everyone's parade. That's because the Tom Landry Fitness Center, run by the Baylor Health Care System, won't allow same-sex couples to enroll in the gym under what's known as a family membership. Doesn't matter if the couple involved has been together for five years or 45 years; if you're an LGBT family, you won't be recognized by the Tom Landry Gym.
Send Baylor Health Care and the Tom Landry Fitness Center a message that this policy of telling same-sex couples that they're not families has got to go. It's discriminatory, and it doesn't represent the diversity of the Dallas area. It's time for this policy to go.
