LGBTQ+ advocacy group sues Texas AG, says it wont identify transgender families

A national LGBTQ+ advocacy group is suing the Texas Attorney Generals office rather than hand over information about its support of transgender children receiving gender-confirming medical care.
According to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Texas court, PFLAG National says Republican Attorney General Ken Paxtons office is demanding documents and communications related to a sworn statement the groups CEO Brian Bond provided to a court last year while opposing the states transgender youth medical care ban.
Bonds statement at the time detailed how many PFLAG members had set up contingency plans should their childs medical care be cut off, ranging from finding resources to move out of state to finding alternative care inside Texas. Bonds affidavit was submitted shortly after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a sweeping gender-affirming care ban for minors.
The lawsuit alleges that the attorney general is seeking to determine which Texas families are seeking to access gender-affirming care for their transgender adolescents.
PFLAG is asking the state court to block Paxtons request.
