VIDEO: 'Queer Dance Freakout' party outside Texas Governor's Mansion

On Thursday, hundreds of dancing protesters partied outside the Governor's mansion in Austin to fight against the Texas legislature's Senate Bill 6 or bathroom bill.

Dubbed a "resist-dance," the event's Facebook page asked protesters to groove it out in order to "show we are not going to take the transphobic and homophobic laws Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick and their administration have got in the pipeline."

Critics of the bill have also argued it may cost the Texas economy, similar to the backlash North Carolina received when it signed a bathroom bill of it's own last year.

Businesses like Deutsche Bank and PayPal, sports organizations like the NBA and NCAA, and entertainers like Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam, all pulled out of commitments in North Carolina-- losses Forbes estimated at $630 million in lost business.
