      They are, well legally speaking at least, and Lambda Legal and the ACLU are defending them.

        Right now someone at pflag should be looking for those contact lists they unfortunately lost every copy of right before they were asked.

      If Trump wins again it won’t be just Texas. And I’m worried that it might actually happen.

    Per the lawsuit, PFLAG National states that it would be required to disclose Texas trans youth members, including “complete names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, jobs, home addresses, telephone numbers, [and] email addresses.” It also states they would need to hand over documents and communications related to their medical care, hospitals outside the state, and “contingency plans” discussed among members for navigating the new laws on gender-affirming care in Texas.

    What the actual fuck? Trying to get enough information to ruin them for the rest of their lives. This isn’t only reprehensible from the targeting of LGBT people, it is the worst proposed privacy nightmare I’ve heard of any US based government proposing. I… I need to go throw up.

    Is it normal, as a Texan transplant, to be afraid of joining PFLAG in another state? I used to feel that was just one of my psychosis symptoms, unwillingness to join a formal rainbow group and actually socialize, but now I’m increasingly unsure

    You know… it used to be the case that when using an acronym in an article, it was always explained after the first usage in the text. Journalistic editorial standards have really slipped.
