The first school year under a Texas law targeting LGBTQ+ students

A new school year has begun in the local area, with students and parents gathering for the "Senior Sunrise" tradition at Morton Ranch High School. However, the event was overshadowed by concerns about a recent change to Texas law.

Further details about the impact of this law on local students are available from The 19th, which has been following the story.
