The Texas Department of Agriculture issued a memo forcing its employees to wear clothing that is consistent with their so-called biological gender. The move is the latest attack on the rights of transgender people in Texas. Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is a Republican and loyal supporter of former President Trump.

In related news in Florida, hundreds of drag performers and supporters marched to the state Capitol in Tallahassee Tuesday protesting a new bill that bans children from attending “adult live performances,” which LGBTQ advocates say targets drag shows. This is one of the demonstrators.

Kevin Parker: “Drag is not a crime. It’s an art form, and it gives us a community that we didn’t previously have. And that’s what — that’s what today is about. Today is about community. Today is about showing the Florida Legislature that no matter what they do, no matter how hard they try, our community — LGBTQ, trans, drag — our community will always exist, and we will always continue to thrive.”
