KXAN obtained the latest estimates from the CVB showing 22 groups have expressed concern about the bill. If all were to cancel their convention bookings, the impact would be severe.
Austin would lose an estimated 145,890 total hotel room nights and a total estimated economic impact of $109,683,377 between now and 2021. That equates to 4-5 groups a year. The Austin Convention Center hosts an average 60 big groups annually, a spokesperson told KXAN.

Yep, it COULD. And I COULD roll snake eyes ...
OTOH: It probably won’t. I imagine a lot of women are getting pissed about men coming in and using their toilets. Wait times are increasing.
Probably twice as many groups would come since they could be insured their female members would be protected.
Have they stated their intentions? I cannot imagine that they care a fig. Austin could just say, “We are keeping our bathrooms as we always do. There are single rooms for those who would like them. Taxpayer money is too important to spend on twaddle.” or something
Let me assure you of this. If they don’t pass this law , their will be no money in law makers bank accounts because Texans will throw them out liken dirty dish water.They WILL NOT TOLERATE MEN IN FEMALE RESTROOMS!! Screw this bs.
**Senate Bill 6 would require people to use public facilities associated with their birth sex**
How many straight groups will come to Austin because of this bill?
I saw a Transgender (maybe crossdresser...not sure) at Costco couple years ago..
If I’d seen it in the bathroom I would have screamed and ran
Austin needs to exploit this new bill. “Bring your group to Austin! Our ladies rooms have shorter wait times!”
I hope none if they aren’t comfortable with females not wanting males in bathrooms. Show us some of the respect you are demanding!
Lest any one forget Liberalism is a mental disorder. Yes,Obammy was bat sh!t crazy!
Austin is a cess pool of faggots and communists.
On the other hand allow me to present you this.
Was walking down Duval St. (main st in Key West).
Walked passed this smoking hot girl in a bikini using a pay phone.
After I passed, I heard a man’s voice. Turned around and it was the pay-phone user. That was some shocker. If silent I would have sworn it was a hot girl in a bikini.
Who is “us?”
I heard that there are many homosexuals in Key West. Likely there are cross dresser or “trans” types in bigger numbers than elsewhere, as Key West has that libertine reputation.......
No kidding. Talk about a fear monger lib media trash piece...
[“We are particularly concerned about the impact such legislation would have on Austinites who work in the hospitality and related industries,” Noonan continued. “Every cancelled convention means lost shifts for servers, bartenders and housekeepers; lost revenue for local bars, restaurants, and retail; and lost business for musicians, florists, and event production companies.”]
These might have to go back to Mexico to find work.
As a Californian let me say that this bill is bigger
and more important than some may think. I see it as
a pre-emptive strike for conservatism. It deserves support.
Keep the baslibtards on the defensive. Doesn’t matter
where you are the lefties will plot and probe and look
for ways to get a foothold. We in Cali fell asleep and
woke up asking “What just happened?”.
“Senate Bill 6 would require people to use public facilities associated with their birth sex — effectively banning transgender people from using ones they identify with”
Read the article. The bill is banning sickos from using women’s restrooms.
Good. Starve the bastards out.
