Our faith does not discriminate.
Across the diversity of faiths in Texas, we are all called to love, uplift, and fight for the justice of every person.
Since the 1990s, we have organized people of faith to advocate for LGBTQIA+ Texans, from fighting for full inclusion in our sacred spaces to opposing cruel legislation targeting the transgender community. The religious right does not represent people of faith in Texas, and Just Texas strives to bring the stories of LGBTQIA+ Texans of faith to the forefront.

Representation Matters
We have made major progress when it comes to LGBTQIA+ inclusion and affirmation in faith communities. And we still have work to do. People of faith must continue to speak out to support and celebrate LGBTQIA+ people publicly and politically — especially our transgender community. There’s too much at stake. Just Texas commits to the ongoing mobilization of faith voices to champion the full equality and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ Texans.
How to Help
We invite you to join us as we proclaim a faith narrative that preaches inclusion and affirmation of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. We offer opportunities for education around the full participation of LGBTQIA+ people in faith communities, especially transgender inclusion. We are engaged in local and state politics protecting LGBTQIA+ Texans and our religious freedom.
