Putting an end to discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans is a crucial step towards achieving equality and justice for all. Discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity not only violates basic human rights but also undermines the principles of fairness and inclusivity that are fundamental to a just society.
By actively combating discrimination through legislation, education, and cultural change, we can create a more accepting and supportive environment where LGBTQ+ individuals can live authentically without fear of prejudice or harm.
It is imperative for individuals, communities, and institutions to stand up against discrimination in all its forms and work towards building a society where everyone is valued and respected regardless of who they love or how they identify.
Texas laws that discrimination LGBTQ+ community are:
Senate Bill 12, which prohibits "sexually oriented performances" on public property if audience members are under 18. Critics believe this is an attempt to target drag shows for children.
Senate Bill 14, which bans gender-affirming medical care for transgender children.
Senate Bill 15, which restricts transgender athlete participation in college sports.
Senate Bill 17, which bans public universities from having diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Senate Bill 763, which allows schools to use religious chaplains for counseling purposes.
House Bill 900, which allows schools to restrict access to "sexually explicit" or "vulgar" books.
House Bill 2127, which restricts local governments from enacting non-discrimination ordinances beyond what is already expressly authorized in state law under various state codes.
In striving towards a future free from discrimination, let us continue to champion equality and acceptance for all members of the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring that their rights and dignity are upheld without exception.
