Public colleges and universities in Texas cannot create or continue their diversity, equity and inclusion programs according to an impending state law, which is leading to the closure of DEI and LGBTQ resource centers at the University of Houston.
Students gathered Thursday afternoon to protest the sudden closure of the LGBTQ Resource Center and shared personal anecdotes of how the center has been a safe place for people in the community.
Local trans activists and students expressed a mix of hope and anxiety as a potential exception to the state investigation into parents of trans youth.
