The City of Taylor found itself in the middle of a controversy when LGBTQ+ supporters were excluded from last year's annual parade.
Critics claim proposed Taylor event guideline is 'War on Christmas'While the majority of people in public comment urged the city council to vote no on the proposed guidelines, a couple of people spoke supporting the city.
