LCR Texas supports anti-trans legislation
Apr 21, 2021 |
Representatives of Log Cabin Republicans of Texas this week went to the Texas Capitol to testify in support of Texas House Bill 4042, legislation “requiring public school students to participate in interscholastic athletic activities based on biological sex.”
HB 4042 and its companion bill in the Senate, SB 29 would in essence, if enacted, prohibit transgender students from participating in gender-specific school sports. Such efforts here in Texas and in state legislatures around the country have been roundly criticized by most LGBTQ advocacy organizations as well as many business organizations and a number of large companies. The NCAA last week announced it will not hold any playoff or title games in states that pass such legislation, and the state of Georgia has become the target of boycotts since enacting such a bill earlier this month.
