Decriminalizing homosexual conduct in Texas Directory Post. Raids on bars, and shutdown of apps and Pride could happen.
All the post about decriminalizing homosexual conduct will be in this directory post.
Subscriptions are free.
Introduction
Sections will be added in for the next legislative session in 2026, and additional sections for the following legislative sessions until homosexual conduct is decriminalized.
I am starting to track this effort, because, if the Supreme Court reverses the decision which currently blocks the Texas anti-homosexual conduct law, it will not go back to the way things were. We can expect raids on bars, Grindr and other apps shutdown. Pride events shut down. All these events and place and apps will be said to be aiding and abetting the law. The next scheduled legislative session is in 2026.
[1] I don’t think a serious effort is being done to decriminalize homosexual conduct in Texas.
[2] I don’t that we are identifying and examining who is opposing decriminalization.
[3] I donb’t think we are developing tactics that are going to be effective.
2025 Posts.
This is where it ended up in 2025 in the current legislative session. To decriminalize homosexual conduct in Texas we will have to wait until the next legislative session in 2026 and it will have to start all over again.
There will be one or more posts about what happened in 2025.
This is the history.

Was there any real intention that it was going to pass. What this just for show? What is the plan to deal with those who voted against it. What is the plan to deal with the chair of the Criminal Jurisprudence committee who delayed it?
Next post will track down the religious affiliation of each Texas House member who voted against decriminalizing homosexual conduct in the state of Texas.
It will take some time to do the investigation.
The church of the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee Chair who delayed the bill for a long time and whose chair, Texas House Rep. John T. Smithee voted against it in both the committee vote and twice in the Texas House vote.
However, when it went to the Texas Senate it just sat there. Where were our supposed LGBT supporters.
No reply. I wanted to find out what was the plan.
I included background information on the committee members where it could be found that was relevant. What is interesting is that we don’t know the religious backgrounds of those who voted against the bill and it doesn’t seem to be a concern of the Democrats.
