After Supreme Court LGBTQ adoption case, culture war heads back to states
"We are concerned to see a resurgence of efforts to exclude transgender youth from full participation in their communities, to criminalize or ban best-practice medical care that is proven to save lives, or to exclude LGBTQ people in a variety of other settings, including accessing healthcare, filling a prescription, or seeking legal representation," the letter said.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he is not worried about companies leaving the state, despite their public rhetoric. Her 13-year-old son Max is transgender. Had the ban on gender-affirming care become law, Briggle and her husband would have faced prosecution. "To me, the best measurement of how inclusive and welcoming a state is, is by the population trends," said Glen Hamer of the Texas Association of Business.
