Texas AG Sues Denton Over LGBTQ Swim Event

Texas AG Sues Denton Over LGBTQ Swim Event

Published 2 days, 20 hours ago
Description

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is launching a high-stakes legal battle against Denton over an LGBTQ-themed swim event, arguing that gender-neutral changing rooms violate the state’s new Women’s Privacy Act. The lawsuit targets PRIDENTON and OUTreach Denton’s plan to open mixed-gender access to city pool facilities for “Big Gay Swim Day,” claiming past violations and demanding immediate injunctions. Denton insists the event is privately rented and signage can’t be changed, but Paxton’s office calls that insufficient. This case could be the first major test of the 2025 law, which mandates sex-segregated public facilities. Event organizers call the suit frivolous and wasteful, calling it an attack on their fourth annual Pride swim party amid rising tensions over LGBTQ+ rights in Texas.
