Testifying in favor of the bill, HB 665 by Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, were transgender woman Meghan Stabler of Round Rock, who's a member of the Human Rights Campaign's Board of Directors; and Dennis Coleman, executive director of Equality Texas. No one testified against the bill, which was left pending in the House Economic & Small Business Development Committee.
Stabler sent over the full text of her prepared remarks, which we've posted after the jump. We should note that this is recommended reading for all members of the Dallas County Commissioners Court.
