Oftentimes a strategic approach that utilizes the grassroots power of the members of these institutions in collaboration with leaders at high administrative levels yields the most positive results in transitioning such entities towards being more open to all. The Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit is a grassroots effort to look at strategic approaches to the issues of social justice and policy implementation as regards the concepts of gender identity and gender expression. The Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit invites interested parties in higher academia to engage in discourse and provide education for what works and what does not work in regards to codifying inclusion of "gender identity and expression" into institutional policy. The summit serves to find means to this end through discussion of divergent and respective strategies in regard to the inevitable barriers that always arise. We envision this summit not as a protest, demonstration, or rally, but as an opportunity to educate others in strategic approaches towards social justice issues related to policy inclusive statements. 2 Friday, June 9, 2017 9:00 to 9:30………………………Registration & Breakfast, Twilight Ballroom (2nd floor) 9:30 to 10:30 …………Welcome and Opening Ceremonies, Twilight Ballroom (2nd floor) Emcee…………………………………………………………………….. ..

James Kunz 12:40 to 1:35 ......................................................................................... Concurrent Session 1 Radical Inclusion: Reclaiming the Story of Jesus from the Non-Affirming Church Student Center Theater, 2.101 (2nd floor) Many of us know the stories of Jesus—we’ve internalized not only the stories but the interpretations attached to them, to the point that there is little room for anything new to emerge—so we miss their very heart of radical love and inclusion. This workshop will retell the stories from the perspective of the marginalized, and recapture God’s expansive and inclusive love for all of us, especially the LGBTQ community! We will dig into Jesus’ words, reexamine parables, and retell the Prodigal as a Trans Daughter and see how it all fits together into one overarching message of love. We will bring new light to tiresome questions about “going and sin no more” (as if), “tough love” (what??), and other badly abused passages. You will rediscover the heart of Jesus for you, reclaim his teachings and his story, and walk away revitalized and full of hope.

  • HW 2016 03 TX Letter EHB T
    September 30, 2015 Kevin Counihan Deputy Administrator and Director, Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 7500 Security Boulevard Baltimore, MD 21244 Via email: [email protected] Re: 2017 Texas Essential Health Benefits Benchmark Plan Comments: Special Concerns re: Transgender Persons Dear Mr. Counihan: The Texas-based organizations signed onto this letter appreciate the opportunity to comment on proposed Texas Essential Health Benefit (EHB) benchmark for 2017 released on August 28, 2015. We fully endorse the comments submitted by the LGBT State Exchanges Project at the Center for American Progress (Washington, DC) which provide a detailed analysis of concerns about the potentially discriminatory impact of the non-compliant benchmark plans on access to services needed by transgender individuals in Texas and other states. We also fully endorse the comments submitted by Center for Public Policy Priorities (Austin, Texas), which detail fully the multiple shortcomings of Texas’ non-compliant default benchmark plan. Our organizations submit this separate comment letter to underscore our serious concern about the inadequacy of Texas’ EHB benchmark in its potential impact on transgender persons. Texas’ default EHB benchmark contains an exclusion for any services or supplies provided for, in preparation for, or in conjunction with “transsexual surgery.” We also note that Texas’ benchmark plan covers benefits for tests to detect Human Papillomavirus and cervical cancer including a Pap smear only for women age 18 and older. In addition to the arbitrary age limit which may be discriminatory, it is important that CCIIO clarify that these wellness services must be provided to any person with a cervix to be compliant with nondiscrimination requirements in ACA Section 1557 (see CAP comments).

  • In 2019, the State of Equality Is: out of Step with Texas Values
    IN 2019, THE STATE OF EQUALITY IS: OUT OF STEP WITH TEXAS VALUES As the 2019 Texas Legislature approaches the mid-point, Equality Texas has surveyed the current state of equality and concluded that urgent legislative action is needed. Public support for equality has never been higher. But from kindergarten to the retirement home, LGBTQ people still experience worse outcomes across nearly every metric and, for many, equality remains stubbornly out of reach. The 86th Texas Legislature must act to remove the antiquated legal barriers that put LGBTQ Texans at a marked disadvantage compared to their neighbors. VISIBILITY & ACCEPTANCE According to an analysis by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, ​ ​ approximately 930,000 Texans identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer. If LGBTQ Texans were a city unto themselves, they’d be the 5th most 1 populous municipality in the state, just behind Austin, and significantly larger than El Paso. LGBTQ people are more visible in their communities than ever before: according to a 2017 study, 70% of Americans report that they have a close friend or family ​ member who is gay or lesbian, while the number of Americans who say they personally know someone who is transgender has nearly doubled, from 11% to 21%. Public support for equality is also at an all time high in the state. The Public Religion Research Institute recently analyzed Texans’ attitudes ​ and reported that 64% of Texans support non-discrimination laws for LGBTQ people. That strong support is consistent across political party, religious affiliation, demographic group, and region of the state.

  • LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing
    LGBTQ Organizations Unite in Calling for Transformational Change in Policing Black people have been killed, Black people are dying at the hands of police, our country is in crisis, and we all need to take action. We cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot acquiesce, and we cannot assign responsibility to others. We, as leaders in the LGBTQ movement, must rise up and call for structural change, for divestment of police resources and reinvestment in communities, and for long-term transformational change. Now is the time to take action, and this letter amplifies our strong calls for urgent and immediate action to be taken. Ongoing police brutality and systemic racism have plagued this nation for generations and have been captured on video and laid bare to the public in the United States and around the world. In 2019, more than 1,000 people were killed at the hands of the police.1 We mourn the unacceptable and untimely deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Stephon Clark, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Mya Hall, Tony McDade, Rayshard Brooks, and many more who were gone too soon. We have seen with increased frequency the shocking video footage of police brutality. Officers have been recorded instigating violence, screaming obscenities, dragging individuals out of cars, using unnecessary force, holding individuals at gunpoint, and kneeling on peoples’ necks to the desperate plea of “I can’t breathe.” These occurrences are stark reminders of a police system that needs structural changes, deconstruction, and transformation. No one should fear for their lives when they are pulled over by the police.

  • Tapestry! PFLAG's Diversity Outreach Program Celebrating Black History Month and Remembering Bayard Rustin February 19, 2010
    P O Box 12732 Olympia, WA 98508-2732 email: [email protected] website: http://www.pflag-olympia.org Tapestry! PFLAG's Diversity Outreach Program Celebrating Black History Month and remembering Bayard Rustin February 19, 2010 In July 2009 PFLAG-Olympia was chosen to participate in PFLAG National’s new diversity outreach pilot program. In September 2009 we had an excellent full-day training here in Olympia "PFLAG Tapestry" which asked: How do we interweave our stories and collaborate to move equality forward? It included sections on self-awareness, cultural competence, outreach and coalition-building, developing an inclusive, collaborative chapter structure and more. It was lead by PFLAG’s Western Field & Policy Manager Cesar Hernandez, with PFLAG’s Executive Director Jody Huckaby also in attendance. Because we recognize that we need to do a better job of welcoming and celebrating communities of color here, PFLAG-Olympia is creating the main part of this project to focus on outreach to and education about African- American LGBTQ people and their families. We screened the inspirational powerful film "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin" at our February PFLAG meeting. Then three screenings of the film will be held in February in local venues: The Evergreen State College, River Ridge High School, and South Puget Sound Community College. The film follows the life of this gay civil rights activist who was called an American Gandhi. Rustin was a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and was a staff member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR). Historian John D’Emilio calls Rustin the “lost prophet” of the civil rights movement.

    August 24, 2015 The Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Re: Transfer of Detained Transgender Women to Adelanto Detention Facility Dear President Obama, We, the undersigned lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights, civil rights, and immigrant rights organizations, are extremely concerned about recent news that transgender women may soon be transferred to Adelanto Detention Facility in Southern California. Adelanto is run by the private GEO Group, which has a record of abusing detained people including transgender women. Attorneys and formerly detained people have reported abuses including solitary confinement, denial of medical care, and pervasive sexual harassment of transgender women at GEO Group facilities, including the Joe Corley Detention Facility in Texasi and the LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana.ii GEO Group cannot be trusted to care for transgender women or house them safely. Adelanto Detention Facility itself also has a history of human rights abuses, including “egregious errors” in medical treatment.iii Recently, a coalition of advocates led by the ACLU of Southern California filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security’s Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Division discussing extensive medical abuses against people with mental and physical health disabilities at the facility.iv GEO Group has consistently denied or delayed necessary mental health treatment for people detained at Adelanto and shackled individuals during their psychiatric appointments.v Staff’s negligence at this facility led directly to the death of at least one man, according to ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility, and significant questions remain about whether another deathvi and other grave medical problems in the past year were due to the facility’s medical failures.
