Katy church raises funds to support trans youth

This comes just a day after Gov. Greg Abbott signed SB 14 into law, a bill that prevents transgender minors from accessing gender-affirming care.

After a drag bingo event at a Katy church spurred dueling rallies last fall, First Christian Church held another event on Saturday to raise money for the LGBTQ+ community.

This comes just a day after Gov. Greg Abbott signed SB 14 into law, a bill that prevents transgender minors from accessing gender-affirming care.

At this year’s event, there were only a few protestors and about a dozen counter-protesters.

Reverend Heather Tolleson said the church was hosting its fourth drag fundraising events, which help raise money for the church’s “Transparent Closet,” which offers free clothing to those exploring gender identity and expression. They also raise money for a scholarship fund.

“Tonight’s event is raising funds to create a youth safe space here in Katy for youth who are exploring gender identity,” Tolleson said.
