Today we honor every veteran, and especially our LGBTQIA+ veterans: those who served in silence, those who were discharged for who they are, and those who serve with pride today. Thank you. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

15 years ago, the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” took effect. We remember everyone who served before that day, and everyone it came too late for.

A special thank-you to the U.S. Navy color guard who marched in our 2019 Pride Parade on Shoreline.

Bill filing for the 2027 Texas Legislature opened Monday, and more than 1,300 bills and constitutional amendments have already been filed. Some would harm LGBTQ+ Texans. Many more would protect us.

Bills that would harm LGBTQ+ Texans:
🔴 HB 242 (Rep. Janis Holt) would let any individual refuse services for a marriage that conflicts with their religious beliefs, with no lawsuit or state action allowed over the refusal.
🔴 SB 178 (Sen. Brent Hagenbuch) would make officiating a marriage Texas law calls “void” a third-degree felony. Texas law still lists same-sex marriage as void, though that provision is unenforceable under Obergefell.

Bills that would protect LGBTQ+ Texans:
🌈 HB 653 (Rep. Venton Jones) & SB 143 (Sen. José Menéndez): repeal the “homosexual conduct” law
🌈 HB 174 (Rep. Jessica González), SB 110 (Sen. Menéndez) & HB 810 (Rep. Ron Reynolds): nondiscrimination protections
🌈 SB 118 (Sen. Menéndez, with Sens. Molly Cook & Roland Gutierrez): conversion therapy on minors
🌈 SB 154 (Sen. Menéndez): bias crimes based on sexual orientation or gender identity
🌈 HB 224 (Rep. Barbara Gervin-Hawkins) & SB 138 (Sen. Menéndez): honorable-discharge recognition for veterans
🌈 HB 434 (Rep. Josey Garcia) & HB 805 (Rep. Ron Reynolds): task forces on LGBTQ+ senior housing and transgender equality

New: the Vote with Pride Bill Tracker is live at votewithpride.org/bills. See LGBTQ-related bills in one place, who filed each one, and where it stands, checked against the Legislature’s own records.

Session begins Jan 12. The bill-filing deadline is March 12.

You’re invited! 🧡 The Mosaic Center opens its doors.

Wednesday, Nov. 18 · 5–9 p.m.
1010 S Staples St, Corpus Christi

Since September, volunteers have turned empty rooms into a home for the Coastal Bend’s LGBTQIA+ community. Come see the space, meet the people behind it, and help shape what happens here next.

Under one roof: Unity 89.1 FM, Our Community Lives, free support groups, the Transgender Resource Initiative, Art Lab for Teens, a stage for drag and music, vendor markets and an eventual community mural.

The Center is built by donations and community support. If you’d like to be part of it, you can now contribute online at tmpst.org/donate (link in bio).

The morning after. Here’s where it stands.

10 races on the Nueces County ballot have been called by news organizations, every one with a source you can read on votewithpride.org: U.S. Senate, Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, Agriculture, Railroad Commissioner, U.S. House 34, State House 34 and Nueces County Judge.

Still counting, no call yet: Land Commissioner, both Texas Supreme Court seats, Court of Criminal Appeals and U.S. House 27.

Corpus Christi: nobody reached a majority for mayor or in any of the five council districts, so those go to runoffs on December 12. Same ballot, same records, same site.

Who represents you now? The officials page is live, and their record keeps growing after they take office.

Link in bio. All counts are unofficial until the canvass.

Vote with Pride is a nonpartisan voter-education project of The Mosaic Project of South Texas. Not an endorsement of any candidate.

Before you vote, know their record. votewithpride.org has every race on the Nueces County ballot, 145 candidates in 55 races, with each candidate’s sourced record on LGBTQIA+ issues: what they’ve said, done and voted, with a link to every source.

New today: an Issues page that shows who’s on the record, for and against, on trans health care, schools, libraries, marriage and more. Tonight, results come in race by race, and after the election the records keep growing for whoever wins.

Polls are open until 7 PM. If you’re in line by 7, you can vote.

18 days later and we’re still smiling. 💛

Round two of Block Party photos is here, and this time it’s all about the people who turned Water’s Edge Park into a market: cookies, earrings, jams, pins, flags, and every maker and organization who set up a tent and said hello to thousands of neighbors. A couple of our stage favorites snuck in too.

Thank you to our title sponsor Hicks Family Subaru, and to every vendor, performer, and volunteer who made the day. The full set is on our website (link in bio), and vendors and performers tagged in photos will get theirs by email this week.

Pride on the rooftop. 🚴‍♀️🏳️‍🌈

Saturday morning, five floors above downtown, a whole crowd of bikes spinning, queens performing between the rows, rainbow flags in the wind and the bay behind us. This is what visibility looks like when it moves.

Thank you to @formcyclingstudio for bringing Tour de Downtown Stop 03 to @elevate402rooftop and inviting us to be part of it. Form is getting ready to open its doors in January, and we love that on the road to opening, they chose to ride with Pride. When a new business shows up for our community before its doors even open, it tells everyone: you’re welcome here, from day one.

Inclusive spaces don’t build themselves. They’re built by showing up, out loud and in public, sweating it out together. Healthy bodies, healthy spirits, a healthy community, and nobody riding in the back row alone.

And the queens of Brittany Andrews Entertainment turned every ride into a show, honoring the ones who paved the way:
✨ Brittany Andrews @brittanyramirezandrews
✨ Kitana Sánchez @kitana_sanchez
✨ Zara Doll @zaradolldiva
✨ Honey Andrews @sweethoneyglam

Huge love to DJ Dreamware for keeping the after-party spinning, and to @cafesitobabe for the Pride menu fuel. ☕🌈

Congratulations on the journey so far, Form. We’ll be cheering you on in January. 💜

Vanessa Edwards Foster didn’t want to become an activist, but when someone had to fight for transgender rights, she stepped up. From 1997 through 2009, she lobbied in Washington DC and Austin, co-founded the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition in 1999, and fought to include transgender people in the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Her story reminds us that our votes protect the rights activists like Vanessa fought so hard to secure.
