Local families speak out against transgender legislation

Heights resident Anna Eastman, a former Houston ISD trustee and former state representative, said she cannot remember a time when there were so many proposed state laws that would negatively impact the transgender community. The so-called “bathroom bill” was in the 2017 Texas Legislature session and did not pass. This year, however, Equality Texas – a political advocacy organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ rights – has identified more than 10 bills it says target transgender youth and families. In the past few weeks, bills that would ban gender-affirming healthcare for youth and prohibit youth participation in sports that align with a transgender person’s preferred identity have been moving through the House and Senate.
