Did you know there was a genderless preacher in the 1700s known as the Public Universal Friend?

New today: I created a brief guide to help Texans, especially #LGBTQIA+ folks and allies living here, better understand the legislature and which bills are likely to become law ... and which ones probably won't go anywhere.
