Texas Bill Would Ban Drugstores From Selling Dildos

December 12, 2024 Christianists, Republicans

Lone Star Live report:

Hillary Hickland, member-elect of the Texas House of Representatives’ District 55, is determined to “protect the children” by moving to ban the sale of “obscene devices” in stores that are not considered “sexually oriented businesses.” Hickland recently proposed legislation to be considered in the next legislative session, in 2025, that would prevent major retailers such as Walmart, Target and CVS from selling sex toys.

“Our family-oriented retailers should reflect the values of the communities they serve,” said Hickland in a press release. ”Parents do not consent to their children being exposed to obscene devices while shopping for toothpaste. House Bill 1549 provides common-sense protections for families by ensuring parents can shop with their children without encountering sexually explicit items that compromise their innocence.”

Hickland, a “Christian home schooler,” appeared here last year when she earned the endorsement of Gov. Greg Abbott for screaming about LGBTQ-themed books in libraries and for demanding that the public pay for private Christian schools, aka “vouchers.”
