Houston
Equal
Rights
Ordinance

Basically tries to codify several state and federal discrimination protection laws into a city law as well.

Except originally the city just passed it and never put it up for a vote by the citizens.

Then when challenged by many subpoenad pastors notes to try to quash the foes. Then when overturned at the state level and forced to put it on the ballot tried to use ambiguous language to confuse the voting public.

A bunch of horse poop anyway you want to slice it.

Thanks, I was just harassing the OP. But no, I had never heard of it until tonight although I’m on FR all the time.
