Anti-LGBTQ Hate Group Leader Accused of Theft, Money Laundering
Authorities in Houston are investigating felony allegations of theft and money laundering against anti-LGBTQ hate group leader Jared Woodfill.
On Monday, the Harris County District Attorneys Office raided Woodfills law offices, seizing 127 boxes of files, six computers and disk drives, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Woodfill, the former chair of the Harris County Republican Party, now leads the Conservative Republicans of Texas, which is listed as an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Conservative Republicans of Texas was founded by longtime Houston anti-LGBTQ activist Steve Hotze.
In 2015, Woodfill served as spokesman for the campaign to repeal the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, which prohibited discrimination against LGBTQ people. He also represents two local taxpayers who are challenging same-sex benefits for Houston city employees.
