Embracing Transformation: The Battle for LGBTQ+ Rights in Texas

On June 27, 1969, a vibrant evening in New York was disrupted when police stormed a local bar. Unlike previous raids, patrons boldly resisted. Elizabeth A. Armstrong, a sociology expert, noted that the Stonewall Riots ignited the gay liberation movement.

Texas must champion diversity, supporting vital change for all.
