There’s a hearing today at the state capitol regarding SB6, the proposed anti-trans bathroom bill here in Texas. Trans Texans (and allies) need to stand together, your stance on these matters and the decisions put into place will be in our history books one day.

Texas lawmakers are trying to pass bill SB6 that discriminates against transgender individuals using the bathroom they identify with. This bill is disguised as one protecting privacy rather than just another stab at trans rights. Last month I got the amazing opportunity to step out of my comfort zone by acting in a PSA in opposition to this bill. I was joined by a dozen or so other talented individuals as we took a stand for trans Texans. Being that I'm the T in LGBT, of course #IPEEWITHLGBT. Executed by GSD&M, The Bear, ACLU tx, and directed by the incomparable Richard Linklater. Check out the video I've linked, as well as the below resources to learn more about this bill.

The ACLU of Texas and Legacy Community Health have released a video to highlight the discriminatory nature of the Texas "Bathroom Bill."
“The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and nonprofit Legacy Community Health have released a digital video to highlight the discriminatory nature of the Texas "Bathroom Bill" (Senate Bill 6), which aims to prohibit transgender people from using the restroom they choose.
The 60-second spot, entitled "Taking a Seat, Making a Stand," was created by GSD&M and five-time Academy Award-nominated director Richard Linklater. Through targeted digital Facebook buys, the humorous video will try to encourage Texans to reach out to their state legislators to oppose S.B. 6. The campaign behind this effort is called "I Pee With LGBT" and the hashtags include #IPEEWITHLGBT and #StopSB6.
To bring humor to the situation, the spot shows a number of people – some in bathrooms – discussing how there's only one way to stop the bill, "You've got to take a seat to make a stand."
One man wearing a cowboy hat says in the commercial, "Because passing this bill discriminates against family and friends," followed by him saying, "And because we damn sure ain't going to end up like North Carolina."

Great, informative article by my friend, Paige, about her wife’s regular experiences using a public bathroom. Something most of us don’t even have to think about.
