    Gay Texas

    Texas seems to have a mixed relationship with the Queer community. Major cities like Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas tend to be more steady and LGBTQ+ friendly. These cities have elected LGBTQ+ officials, event events, protections against discrimination, and thriving gay neighborhoods. However, on a statewide level, Texas lacks comprehensive nondiscrimination laws and has passed anti-LGBTQ+ legislation like the so-called "bathroom bill" targeting gender diverse people. Rural areas and smaller towns tend to be more socially conservative and less welcoming. While acceptance is growing overall, attitudes can vary widely depending on what part of the state you are in. As some comments noted, LGBTQ+ Texans still face stigma in some areas, especially outside big cities. Texas is currently enacting more anti-trans laws, so that is a major concern. For Homosexual people moving to Texas, the major metro areas seem to provide more community and security, while avoiding very rural areas is advisable. With Texas’ complicated social and political landscape, Homosexual acceptance remains uneven.

    I'm an openly gay woman. I was born in Tyler, and lived here for 35 years. Spent two years in Houston.

    You peer around here now, and see sprinklings of openly gay people here and there. And yes, there does seem to be a small pocket of openly gay folk living in the azalea district, especially the area adjacent Bergfeld park.

    It has changed a bit. The population has grown, and people here in general are less hung up about gays. It's still a conservative city, and you will know it the first time you say someone you're gay. And yes, there is the occasional jerk that wants to make trouble for you because you are gay, but not as many as there used to be. It's becoming more and more 'citified' as well, which sucks IMO. And the traffic has gotten progressively worse over the years. But it's an okay place to live, if you don't have to inhabit in an area where your neighbors are shooting at you, and they aren't hassling you about the paint job on your house.

    There is a club called Outlaws which has a homosexual night (can't remember which night, th
