Texas LGBTQ+ rights face rollback as conservative actions target transgender protections and public access.

LGBTQ+ rights in Texas are under increasing threat as conservative pressure mounts, with local non-discrimination protections in cities like Arlington facing potential rollback. Despite progress from decades of activism and key legal victories, recent state actions—driven by federal executive orders—target transgender rights, restrict access to public facilities, and risk federal funding. Advocates warn these moves erode hard-won gains and marginalize LGBTQ+ individuals, even as communities continue to resist and support one another.
