It is a civil case, five pastors are suing the mayor and her administration over the executive order to allow trannies to use whatever public restroom they like. They gathered signature to petition for the order to be overturned and the mayor’s people discredited thousands of signatures as not valid for all sorts of bogus reasons and so the ministers sued. I don’t know the details of the case but the mayor turned vindictive and is going after the ministers for using their churches for political purposes. ...or something like that. If she finds anything that she can label hate speech, she will use that as well. It is a fishing expedition.
Thanks for the info.
That was a very good explanation, the first I’ve heard. Thanks for clarifying what’s going on.
I don’t suppose you’d know off hand if this mayor’s actions are popular among her electorate? I find it hard to believe the population of Houston likes the idea of hounding pastors. Otoh, they elected the woman, presumably knowing she was a lesbian activist, so perhaps they’re just getting what they wanted?
Thanks again.
Actually, the 5 pastors who were subpoenaed were not even part of the lawsuit. That is just one of the things that was so egregious about this incident.
