TSDC MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to the website of the Texas Stonewall Democratic Caucus (TSDC)! TSDC is the official Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Caucus of the Texas Democratic Party. While most of our grassroots political work is done by our local chapter affiliates across the state, TSDC is chiefly responsible for the following:

• Organizing a presence for LGBT and allied delegates at each biennial State Democratic Convention;
• Representing LGBT interests on the State Democratic Executive Committee (SDEC) in order to promote pro-equality policies and positions in the Texas Democratic Party;
• Providing our local chapters with access to the Texas Voter Activation Network (VAN) for local voter registration and mobilization efforts; and
• Encouraging and fostering the creation of new Stonewall Democrats clubs in Texas.

We are proud to be Democrats because the platform of the Democratic Party opposes prejudice based on sexual orientation and gender identity and explicitly supports the adoption of national, state, and local policies to outlaw discrimination. In contrast, the Republican Party has become the political instrument of those devoted to perpetuating bigotry and discrimination.

So, take a moment to check out the many features on our website and get involved in the political process by joining TSDC or one of our local affiliates.

Democratically yours, Daniel C. Graney, President
