Houston elected the first openly gay mayor of a major American City more than a decade ago. So you think this sort of campaign flyers would be passé, especially in a District City Council race, about trash pickup, police, & potholes. 😑

Let’s also talk about how our mission is *not* to endorse LGBTQ+ candidates. We try to elect pro-equality candidates to eliminate prejudice, violence, and injustice against LGBTQ+ people. Sometimes, that means we don’t endorse LGBTQ+ candidates.

SO overjoyed at this ruling. Congrats to everyone on this case for a hard-fought and well-deserved win. Drag is not—and should not ever be—a crime.

BREAKING: A federal judge just granted our request to temporarily block Texas’ drag ban from taking effect Sept. 1. Drag performers and LGBTQIA+ allied businesses belong in our state — and Texas politicians have no right to censor our free expression.

Marisela Castro. Paloma Vazquez. Today, Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor and remember all our siblings lost to anti-trans violence and prejudice. May they rest in power, and may we continue fighting to put an end to this epidemic of violence.

GOOD NEWS: Texas’ book ban #HB900 targeting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC stories will NOT take effect Sept. 1. When students are denied access to books, they’re denied the opportunity to learn about themselves and the world around them. This is a major win for students’ futures.

. @RepThierry146 is a safe dem in Houston. She voted for the book banning bill using anti LGBTQ rhetoric. Now, she won’t meet with actual LGBTQ Texas advocates but will meet with anti trans people from out of state. Seems worthy primarying folks. @Harrisyds @HLGBTQCaucus #tx2024
