Which group resisted the texas equal rights amendment? a. african american legislators b. hispanic american legislators c. female legislators d. male legislators

The best answer is, D. Male legislators.

Many male legislators elected to the Texas state legislature were opposed the passing of the Texas Equal Rights Amendment because they believed it was unnecessary. Those who supported this stance argued, the laws of the state already in place provided substantial protection for women under the rights of the law. However, this viewpoint was in contrast to many in Texas who supported the movement to pass the Texas Equal Rights Amendment and spoke out against those who did not. Though the law did not initially garner enough support, a version was passed in 1972 protecting one's rights under the law regardless of gender, race, or origin.
