Texas: Lawmakers Propose Anti-Transgender "Bathroom Bill"
---------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, Republican lawmakers said Thursday they would introduce
legislation requiring that schoolchildren and people in government
buildings use bathrooms that correspond to their "biological sex." The
bill is similar to a "bathroom bill" passed in North Carolina that has
prompted a boycott and widespread protests from LGBTQ groups.
