Texas mother and son share their coming out stories with Spectrum News 1 Human Interest Reporter Lupe Zapata. pride2022
PUBLISHED 2:11 AM CDT Jun. 16, 2022DALLAS — A big smile formed on 55-year-old Wendi Anderson’s face when asked what her definition of Pride is. Anderson and her 19-year-old son Devon were just two of many to sit down and share for the “Tell Me A Story, Texas” series hosted by This series focuses on my belief that everyone has a story, and if you give people the opportunity to share, under the right circumstances, they will.
For this project, I set up my “conversation couch” and cameras at Dallas Pride held in Fair Park the first weekend in June. Thousands showed up to celebrate during the two-day event in the same location where the Texas State Fair takes place. North Texas resident Wendi Armstrong smiles for a picture with her family as she celebrates her 55th birthday.
“The first time I can remember having feelings for another girl was the fifth grade,” she said. “However, I never felt like I could tell people. Growing up Southern baptist, I lived a lifestyle where being gay was not OK.” Seeing his mom live a life of freedom is something Devon Anderson envied for years. He was in junior high when his mom came out as a lesbian and knew he had the same feelings.
