50 YEARS

drove up and whoever didn't flee fast enough
was arrested.
The Morning News story listed professions, but
the Dallas Times Herald would print names and
ruined quite a few people's careers, the two men
said.
Harris said an attorney they knew moved to
Canada, the only place he could continue practic-
ing law.
Teachers were fired as a matter of policy.
In addition, Harris described a bar with picture
windows on Skiles Street in East Dallas.
"Kids would throw rocks through the window
regularly/' he said,
They said people would drive around the block
a few times before parking and going into a bar
to make sure things looked safe that evening.
Community involvement
Evans and Harris have been continuously in-
volved in the community. Harris was one of the
early board members of the AIDS Resource Cen-
ter.
Having lunch one day in the early 1990s with
John Thomas and several other community lead-
ers> Michael Doughman, now executive director
of the Dallas Tavern Guild, commented, "Now
this is what they call a power lunch."
From that comment, the Stonewall Professional
and Business Association began and Evans and
Harris later became two of the founding officers
of the North Texas Gay and Lesbian Chamber of
Commerce.
They served on the Turtle Creek Chorale advi-
sory committee and on the founding board of the
Fort Worth Men's Chorus.
They received the Texas Human Rights Foun-
dation Robert Schwab Memorial Award in 1996,
given to community members who worked to-
ward equal rights in Texas. And in 1997, they were
given the Extra Mile Award, the first men to re-
ceive that honor.
Harris served on the Black Tie Dinner commit-
tee for five years and in 1998 the group honored
the couple with the Kuchling Humanitarian
Award. In 2008, DIFFA named the couple Leg-
ends in the Fight Against AIDS.
About being together for 50 years, they said,
"In light of Joel Burns, we want to be encourage-
ment to people who don't think it can be done
and a model for straight people."
In April, the couple will celebrate by going
on a Mexican Riviera cruise with 14 of their
friends. ■
