A legislative committee will hold a hearing on an anti-LGBT bill on Wednesday, March 31 at 10:30 a.m. If passed, HB 191 would exempt LGBT people from housing protections.

Activist Kelli Busey asks that anyone who is available to come to Austin for the hearing should come to help protect our rights.
