Social Issues in Texas

Texas is generally safe for gays and lesbians, as the laws against homosexuality were struck down by the Supreme Court (via Lawrence v. Texas court case in 2003). Some Texans do hold some negative views towards public displays of homosexuality, but this varies by where one travels, with homophobic views usually being found in the more rural parts Texas. Regardless, violence against gays is very rare. The cities of Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio contain large gay scenes, and attitudes towards homosexuals are more positive in those cities than in any other parts of the state.
