My understanding of this from afar is that the Houston city council passed this ordinance, it was not popular and petitions were submitted to void the ordinance, there were legal shenanigans by the mayor which included her actions against the pastors mentioned above, ending with the Texas Supreme Court ruling repeal the ordinance or put it on the ballot.
I'd appreciate anything Texas freepers have to say about this local ordinance and Texas Supreme Court ruling.
I’m a Txian, but I don’t know about this.
I also would appreciate some reliable info.
Restore the legislative process....even if Republican politicians had rather just 'go along.'
We live in the suburbs by choice but can shed a little light on this issue. This is certainly going to make the fall election interesting and should guarantee increased voter turnout. Mayor Porker has been term limited but this is her bill and I would think that come hell or high water it will be on the ballot and she is announcing loudly that the LGBT community will win! Not sure about where the most two prominent candidates running for Mayor stand on this issue - one is Black and a member of the City Council, one Hispanic was the former County Sheriff. Apparently the straw that finally broke the camel’s back was the part of the ordinance that resulted in everyone being able to use the same bathroom, regardless of sexual orientation.
Houston is not on sound footing either with their finances or infrastructure, a sanctuary city, rising crime rate, massive increase in apartment building and dwelling, lots of new Yankees and has a huge LGBT community which includes Mayor Porker and her “female spouse”. Just the normal every day problems that come with being the fourth largest city in the U.S.
Time to hide, watch and pray!

Lesbian Mayor Porkor must be a big hit with the Muslim community.
