This is a scam text going around. Read it carefully, Texans. There's a date misspelled. The site given is NOT a .gov site, and notices about outstanding violations are not text messaged but they are mailed by Texas Department of Public Safety.

I’m watching the Pride service at St Clare’s tonight. Always try to catch my friends most important performances (I wasn’t raised in the church, can you tell?) guest priest was Father Lizzie. It was great. If you need a new worship home check out St Clare’s www.youtube.com/live/yE4Kjsq...

Allies, one thing you can do today to honor the victims of Pulse, if you're able, is GIVE BLOOD. When Pulse happened, there were lines wrapped around city blocks for blood donors. Gay men were not allowed to donate. Gay men STILL are not allowed to donate blood..

The APEX Theatre 20 cast of RENT was invited to sing Seasons of Love for the anniversary of Nicholas West. This was around 2013-14 I believe. We did that show first as a concert at our 50 seat theatre and later moved it to Liberty Hall for a full production.

Here's the beginning of Raynie's 2022 Tyler Pride March with East Texas Trans Youth leading the charge. This was Raynie's 2nd Tyler Pride March. The first was a drag march.

If you've followed any of my social media, you've seen this Summer 2022 vigil by the former youth group East Texas Trans Youth. They organized this vigil to remember queers lost to violence and call our allies to action. They met at the Nicholas West memorial stone in Bergfeld Park.

In 2018, we counter protested an appearance of Joe Dallas' at our local mega church Green Acres. Rest in peace to my friend Holly (far left) who passed away last year. She was an incredible mama bear and proud democrat.

Curious to know your immunity status for measles? You can schedule a blood test to test for it! About 3/4s of the cases in the United States are here in Texas. ETX has confirmed cases in Upshur County. We don't know yet if there are other cases lurking (but there probably are).

A tale of two passports. Helped two trans women get their passports who submitted for self-identifying their genders. One the week of inauguration, one the week after. The week of - gender is correct. The week after - gender assigned at birth. This admin is moving quickly. (we knew that)

Red flag laws save lives and keep dangerous weapons out of the wrong hands. But last week, the Texas Senate passed a bill that will arm abusers and put victims at risk. This shameful bill must be rejected.

I hate to break it all of us but... this IS America. It would be best to acknowledge a truthful view of our history and what got us here so we can well combat the fuckery. "This isn't america!!" is the most denialist bullshit for the country who inspired some of the methods of fuckery Hitler did.
