"in two cases a transsexual mother gained custody of her adopted children after a divorce"
My non-birth lesbian mom got full custody of us (birthmom lost all custody) more than 2 decades ago, but I wouldn't say that its evidence that the Texas government wasn't homophobic at the time. Would be weird if I read something like this about Texas in a decade referencing my parent's custody battle as evidence of Texas being ahead of the curve compared to other southern states in terms of homophobia: it was just a single judge's decision and birthmom clearly wasn't fit to be a parent.
You should give this a read.

Good thing that's not the only example brought up here then...
I wasn't arguing against the overall point. Just that particular evidence seemed funny to me given my personal experiences.
