Shortly after City Council acted to protect transgender people from discriminatory health care laws, Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a threatening statement vowing to "consider every possible response" to ensure compliance with state law prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors.
Council passed a resolution to protect trans and nonbinary individuals and those providing gender-affirming care amid anti-trans rhetoric. The resolution prohibits city personnel from penalizing individuals seeking transgender health care.
Council Member Chito Vela highlighted the risks faced by LGBTQIA+ people in their daily lives, condemning the intimidation tactics used by opponents. The resolution aims to prevent violence and threats in political discourse.
