Our Vision
We envision a state where all Texans are treated equally, with dignity and respect.
Our Values
We believe equality is a commitment to:
• Compassion
• Diversity
• Inclusivity
• Justice
• Respect
• Responsibility
Our Mission & Policy Objectives
Equality Texas Foundation educates and engages the public about policies and their effect on Texans of all sexual orientations and gender identities/expressions.
While significant cultural, legal and governmental advances have led to greater equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Texans, LGBT Texans and their families remain highly vulnerable, without the vast majority of rights and protections that most Texans take for granted.
Through our education, organizing and advocacy programs, we work toward creating a broadly diverse alliance of people in government, communities of faith, labor, all sectors of the workforce and other social justice movements to achieve equality for LGBT Texans and the broader goals of social, racial and economic justice.
