A national LGBTQ+ advocacy group is currently in a legal battle with the Texas Attorney General's office over demands for information regarding its support of transgender children receiving gender-confirming medical care. PFLAG National has filed a lawsuit against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton's office, citing requests for 'documents and communications' related to a sworn statement provided by the group's CEO last year.
The statement in question outlined contingency plans made by PFLAG members in response to the state's transgender youth medical care ban, signed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott. The lawsuit alleges that the attorney general's office is attempting to identify Texas families seeking gender-affirming care for their transgender adolescents.
