Following the close of the 88th Texas Legislative Session, I am reflecting on legislation that hits close to home.
As the proud mother of a trans daughter, it was hard to see so many bills targeting the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly trans youth. Elected leaders who passed harmful bills chipped away at my daughter’s rights, but they can’t take away what makes her uniquely her.
With recent legislation, allyship has never been more important.
At ECPR Texas, we show unshakeable support for one another, at our firm and in our community. We are connectors who support the local queer community and are involved in organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign Austin and the LGBT Chamber of Commerce. We are honored to advocate for our client, Texas Health Action, a nonprofit organization that provides quality health services with expertise in serving the LGBTQIA+ community.
Throughout the year, and especially during Pride Month, I ask you to consider what allyship looks like to you.
For me, allyship is showing unshakeable support to the LGBTQIA+ community, 365 days a year.
