Well, that's gonna make Rafael Edward Cruz's daughter's school life even harder. She has come out as bi. https://www.sgn.org/story.php?312345
Cheney's younger daughter Mary was bi, and both he and Liz were happy enough to throw her under the bus in order to advance their political careers.
Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women
Because only we get to do that!
"Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women.."
Ohoho. Oh yeah. That quote coming from this woman's rights denying Texas shit bag is RICH
Hate states gonna hate. It's all they have.
If you take away all the hatred and reactionary thinking, and you insist on the actual points of progress or improvement or policy they wish to make, you’ll find there there’s nothing left.
Cruelty and extremism is all they have.
The new rules do not discuss the issue of transgender student-athletes and which teams they can play on.
Won't someone think of the athletes?!
I fucking hate this shit. Puh-lease. Like suddenly you care about women when it comes to women's sports fuck off with that shit, I don't give a fuck if someone who used to have balls won the women's soccer division give me my rights back you lying piece of shit ass sucker
It wasn't all that long ago when conservatives hated women's sports precisely because they conflated women athletes with lesbians.
You will be getting that back next if they succeed with this.
Excited for a law that requires Jerry Sandusky to inspect my kids genitals before every UIL event.
What could go wrong?

Conservatism is a vile plague of deception, oppression and death. It always has been.
Teach your children why it is inappropriate to do business with or keep relationships with conservatives. Speak openly about the deadly nature of conservatism. It is a hate-based lifestyle and should be openly treated as such.

SCOTUS: We're going to let the states decide who they want to prosecute for merely existing.
All they need to do is reverse Lawrence v Texas.
That was functionally the status quo during my parent's generation.
And we counter with: members of the SCOTUS are going to start disappearing until they start making decisions that benefit humanity.

Just last week, Abbott ranted about a male teacher who wore a dress to some school events in the state who was driven to quit his job by online trolls. Abbott said that the teacher was “trying to normalize the concept that this type of behavior is OK” and said, “This is the type of behavior that we want to make sure we end in the state of Texas.”
I seriously want to ask conservatives in Texas why they are comfortable letting their government dictate what clothes they are allowed to wear?
Idk the story but assuming it was actually a guy crossdressing and not Abbott misgendering a trans woman, then these same people will laugh at drag and tell you how Some Like it Hot is one of the greatest comedies of all time.
Don't these priests wear dresses themselves?

Stay classy, Texas.
The entire rest of the country should sue the Biden administration for the right to discriminate against Texas.
Notice how Texas is kind of the only state where people move to it and can't stop boasting about how great everything is? Like I think you're trying to convince yourself not me, buddy.
It's only the Conservatives doing that, anymore. I don't think most folks from Austin, Houston, and Dallas are really under any illusions, anymore.
And to be fair, Texas has a lot going for it, if only you could excise the cancer that is the Republican party. They ratfuck the state and still somehow manage to scare their followers into believing it would be worse without them.
As a drunk Houstonian, I agree. Good money, beautiful scenery, loads to do, pretty good booze, lots of tech, and a billion types of cuisine.
If we could start turning bluer we could fix education and start giving everyone a chance instead of just the rich or lucky.
I actually like it here but I know how lucky I've been after I got so little help when I needed it most.

California decided long ago that we would all collectively do this without federal approval. So don't worry, we've got this.

How dare he take away our freedoms...to take away freedoms of other people!
Alright, I’m gonna need the state to secede so the US military comes in and rolls the fuck over our stupid-ass state government so we might actually see some relative sanity restored to office in my lifetime.
The shit was doing just fine when suddenly the fan dropped just to hit the shit. That's the Republican party right there.

There aren't enough insults to issue to the people that run this state to tell them how much I think they are so full of stupidity. I can comfortably say I know where the LOWEST bar is for our nation.

if we have a right to discriminate against queer people surely i have the right to discriminate against government/state institutions right?
Surely now i can no longer follow the law and as long as i say "nuh uh" to them, i should be left alone, right?
Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott deserve to be peeled.
