The vote for this was NOT unanimous. Fifty-six Republicans voted NO. This blogger got his facts wrong.

Actually the 56 Republicans voiced their opposition after voting to pass the resolution. Please see the following as reported by Texas Scorecard on March 14:

Last week, the House unanimously voted for a package of nearly 200 resolutions that included a retroactive commemoration of Feb 14, 2023, as LGBTQ Chambers of Commerce Day at the Texas Capitol.

After voting to approve the bills, 56 members later stated their opposition to the resolution in journal statements—a way of stating opposition to the item without actually voting against it or affecting its passage.

Texas Scorecard is a reliable source, not a blog. Regards
