LGBT Advocates Call for Indiana-Style Backlash After Two Anti-Gay Bills Advance
Gay rights advocates began sounding the alarm Wednesday after two anti-LGBT bills cleared House committees and another received a favorable hearing.
Kathy Miller, president of the Texas Freedom Network, said if LGBT groups and their corporate allies don’t work quickly to generate the type of backlash seen over a religious freedom bill in Indiana last month, it could soon be too late.
Miller made the statement on a day when separate House panels advanced bills that would bar county clerks from issuing same-sex marriage licenses and allow state-funded adoption agencies to turn away gay couples based on religious beliefs. The two bills, which breached a dam that had kept a record number of anti-LGBT measures at bay for the first 100 days of the session, now head to the Calendars Committee.
“My fear is that if the Indiana-style outrage doesn’t happen now, before these bills make it to the floor of the House, it will be too late, because the membership of the House will pass these bills, and then the Senate will fly them through, and Gov. [Greg] Abbott will have no choice but to sign them in his mind,” Miller said.

You keep us well informed.
Please do the following: Raise your right hand, reach around to your left shoulder, and pat yourself on the back!!! 
I have over 60 bookmarks for Texas media outlets and occasionally I'll find something on Facebook or some political sites that is interesting.
I finally volunteered to be a forum host so maybe Skinner will give me my five-year service award next year if I don't screw things up too much.
