Becky Miller But that has generated criticism from some Carrollton residents, who submitted a petition this month that opposes city officials' involvement in the parade.

I live in this community and one of the reasons that it has been a great place to raise my children is because of the diversity. One of the reasons it has been the hardest place to raise kids is because of backward fundies like the ones complaining about her involvement in the parade.
