The Equality Texaspower house
A guest column by Rabbi Dr. Denise L. Eger in the Jan. 24 edition of Dallas Voice addressed her opinions about the work Equality Texas did in the last Texas Legislative Session.
She has lived in Texas for two years and has not been involved with the organization. She clearly lacks knowledge and understanding about the scope of Equality Texas’s work, what it does behind the scenes, and how it works in all possible ways with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
For any who don’t know, Equality Texas is our state’s organization that works through education, advocacy and lobbying to protect and advance the rights of LGBTQ+ Texans.
My vantage point is one of having been involved deeply in our community’s struggles for equality and inclusivity in Texas since 1991 and one who has worked extensively with Equality Texas and served on its boards for years.
