It’s hard to believe I have now lived in Texas for nearly two years. I moved here from Los Angeles during the last Texas Legislative session.
Now a new session is beginning. And if you thought the proposed anti-LGBTQ legislation and subsequent anti-LGBTQ laws passed were bad in 2023, buckle your seat belts fellow queer Texans.
It gets worse during this session in 2025. The sheer number of proposed bills is mind boggling. Let’s face it: We are a small part of the overall population, but we are clearly the large boogeyman in the minds of Texas Republicans.
In the Texas House, there are 44 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced, and, in the Senate, another 14 bills have been introduced for a total of 58.
