A Dallas-based LGBT resource center is calling on Dallas leaders to cut ties

What does this even mean?

Beyond that, the examples are flooding in by the day of a tiny sliver of society drunk on their own power thanks to feckless politicians and, of course, a media who portray a group confused about basic plumbing as virtuous, noble, etc.

How did homosexuals get so much power in this country?

What “ties” are they talking about? Back in the days of W.A. Criswell, Jeffries’ predecessor as pastor, the pastor and First Baptist Church were formidable players in Dallas civic affairs. However, the demographics of the city have changed radically since Dr. Criswell’s heyday 40-50 years ago Dallas was a majority white, middle class, Protestant, and culturally conservative city then. That population has passed away or moved to the suburbs. Dallas is currently a multi-ethnic city with the usual liberal politics of big cities.

In common Sodom dialect, it means to tax them, or throw the pastor in jail.

"cut ties"

According to the article, the "ties" consist of the police chief attending a pro-police church-sponsored event. In other words, it doesn't sound like the city has any official "ties" with the church, but that the chief and perhaps other officers have attended events at the church. So the LGBT folks apparently want to prohibit city employees from attending church events even as private citizens, or perhaps when in uniform. It isn't clear.
