Athlete Ally Partners with Mack Beggs to Stand With Transgender Texans During Texas Special Session
Today, Athlete Ally released a video pushing back on the anti-transgender efforts being debated as part of the Texas Special Session.

Transgender Texans deserve equal respect and protection both in sport and under the law, and Athlete Ally is proud be mobilizing the athletic community to stand up and speak out for LGBT equality at such a critical moment.”
