"This is not about safety, it's not about privacy. This is about fear, it's about control, and it's all about exclusion." Mick Rose
✨Community member Mick Rose joined us for the Separate is NOT Equal rally to speak out against the anti-trans bathroom bills filed this special session.
💜He spoke out about the dangerous and discriminatory nature of bills like HB 32 and SB 7 and how they mirror the historic segregation of public accommodations for Black folks during the Civil Rights era.

🏳️🌈 Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia! On this #IDAHOBIT, we fight the censorship of LGBTQ+ books and content in Texas classrooms.
📕 Texas kids deserve dignity, safety, and an inclusive curriculum. They deserve to see people like them and their families in the books they read. By censoring books that discuss LGBTQ+ experiences, Texas lawmakers are denying children access to a quality, representative education.
Banning books and distorting education isn’t just narrow-minded, it’s dangerous.

🏳️⚧️Health care for trans youth is under attack.
Texas lawmakers have no place in private medical decisions that belong to a family and their doctor. We must protect trans youth and ensure their access to essential health care, like puberty blockers.

Today, news broke of a settlement between Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and the attorney general's office that compels Texas Children's to create a so-called "detransition clinic" in addition to paying $10 million to the state.
This decision betrays trans and nonbinary Texans, their families, and the medical professionals who have spent years providing evidence-based care that saves lives.
