Hope for Christian bakeries and women who don't want to see drag queens in the restroom

It was a year ago that the Houston City Council, with the backing of lesbian Democrat Mayor Annise Parker, decided that private businesses owned by Christians had no rights, nor did women who preferred to feel confident that those they might encounter in public restrooms who looked like women actually were.

Last night, in a demonstration that normal people have not traveled as far down the lunatic track as politicians, Houston voters repealed this nonsense:

Note the false ‘equal rights’ b.s. language from the left. It’s special rights / prosecute Christians.

You have good understanding on this issue. It is ALL deceitful language, Orwellian in nature because the terms mean exactly the opposite of their assumed meaning.

They always spout the "protections" lie, when such laws are actually a sledge hammer to be used AGAINST those with a moral viewpoint. In other words, Christians are UNprotected.

Something like “wonderful to say” — an adverbial phrase.

Common sense is not as common as we would wish, because it too is vulnerable to evil. We have to remember that the God of wonder is even behind the commonest blessing, or we run the danger of God temporarily yanking it from us to show that no, it should not be taken for granted.

The right to go gunning after those who despise their molehills.

The liberal’s real war on women.

Admitting men into women’s restrooms.

How can concern for women's safety be labeled "hate"?

It really goes to show that they aren’t making sense. It never was about what was right for women, or men, or whoever. It was about twisting the common understanding using some fine sounding thing as an excuse.

And they had numbed us from jeering publicly at this genre of garbage. Until Donald Trump came along. He might or might not be destined to be president, but we can’t deny now that God sent him for at least this.

Expect a clown in a black robe to claim it’s “not Constitutional”

Our dear left wingers DO tie themselves in knots sooner or later.

God is like, saying to the gape-mouthed, “You noticed? Think truth might be a better plan?”

On the other hand, they might consider the “marriage bone” to be sufficient to throw for the time being, or at least might take into account the stunning display of Machiavellian ingratitude that greeted it. Don’t misunderestimate the Donald Trump factor. When re-engineering reality turns on one, there’s always the blunt “fool me twice shame on you.”

This is not of MEN. But it can very much be of GOD, even without any explicit statement of theological faith.

Democrat Mayor Annise Parker

1. Unilateral opens public female restrooms to men.
2. Dismissed petition to put on ballot.
3. Court ruled petition valid
4. Parker created ballot language with double-negative to confuse voters.
5. Court rule ballot language misleading
6. Parker creates ballot language as covert civil rights bill.

The voters were not fooled.

Mayor Parker is mad as hell this morning.

WH Time-Life operators are vetting federal district court judges even as we speak.
We have one branch of government now, and the judiciary is its lap dog.

I want to know when “transgender” was accepted as being real? How did this happen? Nobody is born in the wrong body, and it is bizarre that society has been cowed into accepting this idea. Transgendered people are like unicorns. I’ve heard of them, but I know they don’t exist.

OH!

Left out Mayor Parker's demand that churches turn their sermons over to her.

...the the courts rebuke of her actions numerous times.

I hope the Houston mayor and her clones keep pushing this kind of insanity -— loud, proud, and in your face. It mobilizes the normal like a shot of adrenalin.
