Transgender advocates have successfully used the courts to block similar laws in Arkansas and Florida. TransRightsAreHumanRights transrights LGBTQ LGBTQIA Texas txlege GregAbbott
LGBTQ+ advocates speak out against bills targeting transgender children during an earlier rally at the Texas Capitol.
The lawsuit filed in Travis County District Court argues that the controversial Senate Bill 14 — one of seven bills signed by Gov. Greg Abbott this legislative session attacking the rights of LGBTQ+ Texans — violates the state constitution and fundamental rights to parental autonomy. The courts have struck down similar laws banning gender-affirming care in Arkansas and barring Medicaid from paying for transgender health care in Florida, attorneys for the Texas families said during a Thursday morning conference call.
Specifically, Castillo argued the SB 14's discriminatory nature violates the Texas Constitution's guarantee of equal rights and also is an affront to physicians' rights to occupational freedom.
