Stop SB 12: the Drag Ban Bill!
Tell Speaker Phelan and the House State Affairs Committee to STOP SB 12, the "drag ban" bill!
SB 12, the so-called "drag ban" bill has passed the Texas Senate and is being considered in the House State Affairs Committee.
SB 12 is an attempt to limit the free speech and expression of the LGBTQIA+ community. The bill uses vague and overly broad language that equates drag performance with sexually oriented and explicit content. Drag has been an art form for centuries, since the time of Greek tragedies and Shakespeare. This broad bill could impact public performances such as Pride celebrations and even drag brunch.

More than 140 bills that target our community have been filed and it is clear some lawmakers are amplifying their attacks on LGBTQIA+ Texans. We have faced threats before but this is the biggest onslaught we have seen. We need you to take action urgently!
