Team, it’s Pride Month — and that’s a special month for me, as it is to so many of us.
Growing up with two moms was a non-issue for our family. It was the people in East Texas who had issues with me having two moms that were the problem.
In the early 2000s, even as acceptance was growing more broadly, Republicans began a campaign that labeled LGBTQIA+ individuals as unfit to be parents, forcing families like ours to be on the defensive. I’m not one to take these types of attacks lying down, so I started knocking on doors to encourage my community to stand up and do the right thing.
Now, here decades later, once again, Republicans have aligned with bigots who want to take away our hard-won rights.
This week, the Southern Baptist Convention is voting to attack our right to gay marriage and partnering with the Republican party to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges , the Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage 10 years ago this month.
We need your help to stop this. Donate today to the Texas Democratic Party Pride Fund to help us fight back and stand up for the LGBTQIA+ community across Texas >> [[link removed]]
Bigots want us to be afraid and to keep our mouths shut.
They forget that Texans led the fight for gay rights, filing and winning the landmark Lawrence v. Texas case that legalized same-sex activity in every state and U.S. territory in 2003, and laid the groundwork for Obergefell to legalize gay marriage and decriminalize our families.
We’ve come too far to give up and go back now.

Proud to be your Texas Democratic Party Chair,
Kendall
We are the Texas Dems. We're protecting Texans from Republican extremists and their unending stream of misinformation statewide. Let's be clear, Texas Republicans have drawn district lines to choose the voters they want, and D.C. Republicans have poured tens of millions of dollars in dark money into Texas. We are on the front lines of pushing back against their influence with voters.
Taking Texas back from extremist Republicans is going to take all of us. Will you chip in now to help us elect Democrats who will work hard to represent all Texans, and not just the wealthy few? [[link removed]]
