The Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of a family in the Houston Independent School District (HISD), after HISD failed to commit to referring to a couple's daughter by her given name and correct pronouns.
The issue began back in December of 2023, when the Osborn family discovered a masculine name on their daughter's schoolwork**, and** they then learned that their daughter had been socially transitioned at the school for several months.
According to an announcement from the Alliance Defending Freedom, HISD employees had originally agreed with a request from the Osborns that they stop socially transitioning their child, but the parents later learned that the social transition had continued.
The family has now had meetings with the principal of their daughter's school, but according to the ADF, there has been no sign that HISD intends to comply with the wishes of the parents in this matter.
ADF attorneys have now filed the case "Osborn v. Houston Independent School District" with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.
HISD has made no public comment so far.
