Texas has lots of different regions, and it even varies from town to town, but pretty much anywhere south of a line from San Antonio to El Paso is majority people of Mexican descent and Spanish is very common. In all the big cities in Texas there's a huge Hispanic population, mostly of Mexican descent but also a lot of Central Americans. Even Austin, which people seem to love to deride as a "white" city, is a third Hispanic, and the influence of Mexican culture is everywhere
do you think they would accept me?? I think I want to spend the rest of my life in Texas, they have nice nonbinary rights and are good people!!
...you are taking about the Texas north of Mexico right? Not some other Texas that isn't openly hostile to anyone not cis heterosexual?
i mean texas texas, the lone star state. and by the way, my city coahuila, was part of texas, but sadly they broke up, that's why coahuila is very american
If you're in a city in Texas, you'll easily find people to connect with and will have little/no issues. In rural areas, you're likely to find people who are less accepting of different lifestyles.
there are also small towns here in mexico, and yes, they are accepting
Texas is politically and socially against LGBT rights. Maybe not as bad as Mexico, but you are likely to get hatecrimed in Texas if you are nonbinary.
I'd be a lot more concerned in north or east Texas than south, central, or west Texas, which are all the parts closest to Mexico. Despite what you hear on the news, there are a lot of gender diverse people here and plenty allies
As a Texan, I feel the divide is more rural vs urban north vs south.
not as bad as mexico?? here lgbt is accepted and all states are pro gay marriage, and also trans rights are nice and there are a lot of nonbinary people in government positions, and they are respected
