HOUSTON, TexasHoustons bathrooms, showers, and dressing facilities will now be open to all, regardless of gender, gender identity, gender expression, or other predilection of gender behavior. By an 11-6 vote of the Houston City Council, Mayor Annise Parker achieved this as the crowning jewel of her tenure as mayor.
Mayor Parker, Houstons first openly gay mayor, said passing this ordinance was not the most important thing she has done in office, according to an article in the Fairfield Citizen, but it is the most personally meaningful thing I will ever do as mayor.
Houston Council Member, At Large Position 3, Michael Kubosh took exception to this. Kubosh told KPRC TV, "It's going to criminalize people that have been found in violation in the ordinance and the fine could be between $500 to $5,000."
In an interview with Breitbart Texas, Kubosh said, The system is flawed and has little, if any, transparency. I did everything I could do to get the ordinance delayed or defeated, but the mayor controlled the whole process. Kubosh said he voted against the ordinance along with District A Council Member Brenda Stardig, District D Council Member Dwight Boykins, District E Council Member Dave Martin, District G Council Member Oliver Pennington and At Large Position 5 Council Member Jack Christi.
Stephen Costello, the At Large Position 1 Council Member who supported Mayor Parker on the Proposition 1 Rain Tax ordinance, joined ten other council members in standing beside Mayor Parker.

Makes me so proud of the real Americans in Texas. I no longer want to hear any crap about liberal California from you Texas loonies.
As is very obvious, the antics of the Left reflect an inability to accept reality. If this does not reflect that war on reality, what does it reflect? For openers, the Houston Mayor apparently has so great a problem with being a woman, that she openly acknowledges an asexual form of expression--something which would have been kept private, through most of human history. Secondly, she picks some thing which was certainly no problem--that is having separate rest rooms for men & women (or how was it a problem to anyone without a neurotic need to make a statement against normal human sexuality?)
Whether the target is normal sexuality; income inequality; social inequality; ethnic identity; cultural preferences of any kind; the Collectivist/Egalitarian (or Totalitarian Humanist) approach is compulsion driven, never reason driven. (See Compassion Or Compulsion?) It helps no one but scoundrels & demagogues. It succeeds, because the scoundrels and demagogues have learned how to stifle most dissent by hurling nasty epithets at a population overly distracted already, by the proliferation of distractions in the contemporary era.

Good questions. The only thing I can think of is the long lines to the women’s room compared to men’s at public venues. Even then, I didn’t want to venture into the men’s room.
I wonder what the “body language” experts would say about the two women in that photo? They are far apart and leaning away from one another. Yeah. It’s love.
Ding ding ding! Winner Winner!
Gay Episcopal priest follows his heart
There was a time when the Rev. Paul Fromberg figured that being gay and being an Episcopal priest was an either/or decision. Now, after years of struggling with sexuality and spirituality, Fromberg, 43, no longer believes he had to make that choice.
This is all I could find. The website is not set up properly yet, but hopefully they’ll get it up to speed soon.

We used to go to Houston for the Texans games. They were so bad last year, we didn’t go. We certainly won’t be spending our money there now. No one should knowingly support wickedness.

I think Michael Berry calls her Mayor Cankles on his radio show
Elect a pervert, and this is what you’ll ALWAYS get.
I remember some Houstonian saying on the radio (before her initial election) that although she might be some lezbo, but she’s not going to be pushing the radical homo agenda. I laughed at such sheer naivite/stupidity. Because, a homo will ALWAYS push this depraved crap. They don’t care about children being molested, women being accosted by sickos, etc. That’s because they themselves are sicko, and mentally identify with other such sickos, and consider such behavior normal.
Maybe its time for another Lexington & Concord, but I doubt there’s many who’d take up arms.
Complaining online is safer.
It appears from other sources that the “Bathroom Provision” was dropped from the ordinance.
“And notice the beaming clergyman in the background...”
He looks like he just caught a glimpse of her testicles bulging out of the back of her polyester pantsuit.
It would be funny to watch Gov. Abbott cut of State funding to Houston.”
It is, indeed, going to be interesting to watch what happens to Houston. The Governor does not control the money, that’s the task of the Lt. Governor. Reportedly many people in Houston voted for Patrick because they think they can count on him to make sure Houston is financially solvent, even if it means a bailout from the rest of the people in Texas.
We’ll see how Patrick reacts to the Mayor’s ordinance between now and November.
In this case, too perverted
I predict a massive drop in public rest room visits. Especially women’s rest rooms.
If ONLY, if ONLY... liberals had to experience the consequences of their stupid, perverted, and twisted ideas.
Psalm 141:
8 But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;
in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless![c]
9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me
and from the snares of evildoers!
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by safely.
