By Mary Gonzalez and Jessica GonzalezTexas State Representatives Jessica Gonzales Mary Gonzales Access to healthcare is a human right.
As the chair and vice chair of the LGBTQ Caucus, we are proud to stand alongside our colleagues in always calling for equity for all people and particularly for those in the LGBTQ community.
