Dear John, Just hours ago, PFLAG families in Texas gained further protection when the court reaffirmed that the Attorney General can’t two-step around the law with an outrageous demand for private information. You can read the full press statement on our website. The Travis County District Court in Texas granted a temporary injunction blocking the Texas Attorney General’s Office’s latest effort targeting transgender Texans—a demand that PFLAG National turn over information and documents about its support of families in Texas seeking gender-affirming medical care for their transgender youth. Our legal team from Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, the ACLU, Transgender Law Center, and Arnold & Porter—who earlier secured a temporary restraining order (TRO) on PFLAG National’s behalf—today asked the court to issue an injunction blocking the Attorney General’s investigative demands while the legal advocates pursue their challenge in court. The court agreed and issued the order upon completion of the hearing. Hear me loud and clear: PFLAG National will always fight to protect our families, because trans youth and their loved ones deserve better—and loving your LGBTQ+ kid is always the right thing to do. We will continue leading with love, and our love will always take action in support of our members and supporters everywhere. In PFLAG solidarity, |
