Democrats twice successfully delayed a vote on the bill in the House for technical reasons, but they were unsuccessful Friday night.
Texas Republican leaders passed a bill that would ban gender-affirming health care for minors.
Democrats and LGBTQ advocates held a rally before the debate, reading letters from transgender youth. Democrats have argued the bill is discrimination. Twice, they delayed a vote by the full House on technicalities. Running out of moves, they only sought to change portions of the bill on Friday. "This isn’t about parents. It’s about medical practice. That’s the purpose of this bill," Oliverson said.
