Anti-Trans SB 723 Needs To Be Stopped

In the Lone Star State we have an anti-trans bill that needs to die called  SB 723.    It seeks to frack with trans marriage rights and is scheduled to hit the Texas Senate floor on Monday.

Don't forget we have Nikki Araguz's pending marriage case with the next hearing happening on May 13, so yeah, this is an unjust bill that needs to die ASAFP.

S.B. 723 amends Section 2.005(b), Family Code, by removing "or sex change" in reference to documents acceptable in proving an applicant's identity for obtaining a marriage license.

It just has to be stopped and now!  This is ridiculous.  It is quite specific about excluding the rights of a specific minority of the population.  Very sad indeed!
