Four LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations are urging the United Nations (UN) to investigate the State of Texas for human rights violations. The ACLU of Texas, Equality Texas, GLAAD, and the Human Rights Campaign-along with support from the Human Rights Clinic at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law-submitted a joint allegation letter on January 22 to 17 independent experts, working groups, and special rapporteurs at the UN. The letter alleges that Texas violated international human rights law by targeting the LGBTQ community with several laws enacted in 2023.
