The Texas Agriculture Department's dress code says employees must dress in a 'manner consistent with their biological gender.'
The Texas Agriculture Department has a new dress code that appears to take aim at the LGTBQ+ community.
Business attire for men includes dress shirts, ties, sports coats and trousers. Women are required to wear"businesslike dresses," tailored pantsuits or coordinated dressy separates. They can be accompanied by"conservative, closed-toe shoes or boots." "Staff members will not be compensated for any work time missed because of a failure to comply with designated workplace attire and grooming standards," the memo states. An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union told the Texas Tribune that the dress code violates the First Amendment.
