Same-Sex Marriage
The Texas Freedom Network affirms the dignity of all families and supports legislation that truly helps them. Unnecessary and divisive efforts to “define” marriage in the Texas Constitution divert attention from issues critical to working families and their children.

Covenant Marriage
The Texas Freedom Network affirms the dignity of all families and supports legislation that truly helps them. Unnecessary efforts to enact a “covenant marriage” law that actually endangers battered spouses divert attention from issues critical to working families and their children.

Hate Crimes
Hate crimes target innocent victims simply because of the color of their skin, their religious views, their ethnic origin or the sex of the person they love. Such crimes foster anxiety and mistrust and bring fear to whole neighborhoods, communities and towns. The Texas Freedom Network proudly worked in 2001 for the successful passage of a strong state law that increased penalties for hate crimes.

Adoption and Foster Care
The best interests of children are served when they are provided homes that are safe and stable with loving parents. Efforts to limit adoption and foster care to heterosexual parents ignores the best interests of our children in order to promote personal bias and codify it into state law.
