Stacy Bailey, a lesbian art teacher at the Charlotte Anderson Elementary School in Mansfield, Texas showed the photo of her future wife, Julie Vasquez, at a “Get to Know Your Teacher” presentation.

The teacher wanted to share her life like any other teacher at the school. She wanted to be honest with her students, but it backfired on her when she was accused by a parent of promoting a homosexual agenda.

Bad news from Texas reached us a few days ago. They now allow new discrimination against LGBTQ people.

Just like in other American states I talked about in the last few weeks, Arkansas and North Carolina, for example, Texas legislators are considering a whole group of anti-LGBTQ bills. Except that in Texas, 41 companies including Amazon, American Airlines, Apple, Dell Technologies, Facebook, IBM, Levi Strauss, Marriott International, Microsoft, and Silicon Labs, who are either based in the state or do business there, have just teamed up to ask lawmakers to cut the crap.

After passing a measure that discriminates against LGBTQ people, Texas found itself on California’s list of states to avoid.

Texas attempted legal action to prevent this, but it didn’t go as planned.

The law that prevents transgender youth from joining school sports teams they identify with has come into effect in Texas.
