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. However, before discussion of the board got underway, District 8’s Pelaez — a potential mayoral candidate — invited Pastor Patrick Jones, who leads the East Side’s Greater Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, to lead the session’s invocation.
