"Gaston County officials are considering defunding the Museum of Art and History, a move that could, according to some, force the museum to close its doors.....County Manager Kim Eagle brought up the museum, which is located in Dallas, at a county work session on Tuesday, asking for input from the Board of Commissioners on whether to continue funding the museum as a county department.
The talk of pulling funding comes less than a year after a dispute between county officials and the museum over a photo of two men kissing that the county manager ordered to be pulled from an exhibit."
