Founded in 1975, the Houston LGBTQ+ Political Caucus is dedicated to eliminating prejudice, violence, and injustice against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people through education, activism, and political advocacy. Our goal is to create a world where all human beings are guaranteed freedom, equality, and opportunity. The Caucus is a dynamic, membership-driven political organization with its leadership answering to the members. Seeking to influence policies and politicians in the greater Houston area, the Caucus works with candidates and politicians to develop positive LGBTQ+ policies and legislation. An all-volunteer organization, members work to screen candidates, decide on endorsements, and staff election sites encouraging the support of endorsed candidates.
