On Tuesday, Houston voters will be asked if they want to keep or repeal the city's strong and enlightened equal rights ordinance, which was approved by the City Council last year and put on hold pending this week's vote.

Most big corporations, the entire media and a large coalitions of over 100 businesses and civic groups supported it. But the measure was voted down overwhelmingly.

Shows how tuned-in the NY Times is.
The “enlightened” elites have a different set of beliefs than the “lower” classes.
The people have spoken decisively in a vote. Time for the courts to overturn their decision in 3...2...1.

People and private institutions have an equal right to decide how their property will be used. All other “equal rights” are violations of rights.
Will the infantile left resort to calling for an economic boycott of Houston now?
I wondered how quickly the “enlightened” remark would make it to the comments. In my 58 years I have never seen the elites this out of touch with real America.
When the Hell is the Times going to crawl up and die?
I will have a YouTube sing along done regarding this issue hopefully by late tonight. I think it is both enlightening and mockingly funny. Can anyone here sing? The tune is LAST KISS.
Ah yes. The ordinance that went down on flamers.....er, went down in flames.
The Sodomite Paper of Record speaks out.
Sorry, Sodomites, you lose.
It is stunning how they flip things around, using the term “perverse” so wrongly when the perverse people are on their side.
This thread needs that guy pointing at HAHA!
People in Houston ought not to read the New York Times.
They seem to be feeling more confident about it too.
‘strong and enlightened ordinance’
There are those manipulative and bullying adjectives meant to lead naive people to believe, if they don’t agree with the NYT, the naive people are obviously weak and unenlightened. This must be pointed out at every turn! We must start fighting fire with fire!
Don’t they, though.
Stop perversion!
People anywher in America ought not to read the New York Times.
