University of Houston Students Rally Against Anti-LGBT Bills
Dozens of University of Houston students gathered outside the MD Anderson Library on campus Tuesday morning to protest anti-LGBTQ bills in the Texas Legislature.
They were joined by representatives from the Texas Freedom Network, GLAAD, Indivisible Houston and other pro-LGBTQ groups for the “Texas Students Against Hate” rally.
More than 25 anti-LGBTQ proposals have been introduced in the 85th Legislature, including Senate Bill 6 and House Bill 2899, two anti-transgender “bathroom bills.”
“Today we’re here to stand up against any anti-equality, anti-LGBTQ legislation, specifically SB6 and these kinds of anti-trans rhetoric and bills that are creating a backlash against the LGBTQ community,” said Rachel Clark, a member of the UH chapter of Texas Rising, a project of the Texas Freedom Network.
