GetEQUAL Texas has issued a travel advisory for LGBT people considering visiting San Antonio.
“GetEQUAL TX alerts those traveling to San Antonio, Texas, of a continued risk of discrimination based upon sexual orientation and/or gender identity. The city of San Antonio does not currently protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender (“LGBT”) people from being legally ejected from their hotel rooms or other places of public accommodation,” the advisory states.
“Although city officials are attempting to correct the issue for LGBT travelers, hundreds have appeared on the streets in front of council demanding that such discrimination discontinue,” it said.
According to a news release, GetEQUAL Texas is a national grassroots social justice organization whose mission is to empower the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community and allies to take bold action to demand full legal and social equality, and to hold accountable those who stand in the way.

The city just banned anyone anti-gay from working for the city government.
lol
Where can I get one of these bans for Pittsburgh?
This has been THE lead story in San Antonio for days. It’s dominating the Express News website and the print newspaper. Headline articles, front page news, editorials, the whole nine yards. It’s beyond sickening and disgusting to see the local media attacking “hate groups” who oppose faggotry; it’s now almost amusing to see the lengths these leftards are going to as they defend queer sex.
That is - if you find blind viscous hatred amusing.
“The city just banned anyone anti-gay from working for the city government.”
Correction:
The city just banned anyone not openly gay friendly from working for the city government.
Can anyone--anyone, however delusional--describe this groups as such, with a straight face?
The Left sure do like their over-reaching slogans. But reality is reality. What they seek is neither social nor just.
But, of course, this lunacy goes back to the academic corruption in contemporary America. To put that corruption into perspective: Not Social & Not Just.

The media isn’t so interested in “secret recordings” about the willingness to accept racist targets donations at Planned Parenthood (”just black babies...”) or ACORN (”we run a prostitution ring for underaged girls”).
Pink Journalism is behind this boycott.
ASTROTURF
I shall make it a point to visit S.A. (San Antonio) at every opportunity.
Rip them new ones Elisa!
Something missing...can’t put mah finger on it.
Oh, wait..
“San Antonio City Councilwoman District 9 Elisa Chan(D)”
Fixed it. The Dems continue their attack on the LGBT community.
I’m sitting in a hotel room by the San Antonio airport as I read this article.
I wouldn’t mind moving here....it’s a nice town, except for the summer heat.
<p> 
The mark of the beast
If you are not openly gay friendly you will not work, you will not eat...
So if you are just polite and say nothing you’re guilty?
Maybe time to head down to Casa Rio for some chicken enchiladas.
RE: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community
Doesn’t Q cover the others? I thought it was just LGBT, now we have a Q? What is a Q attracted to that the L, G and B isn’t?
LOL,
travel alert because someone got called a HOMO
Too much.
Hilarious. San Antonio is a 100% RAT town, with Mayor Castro the son of a vicious La Raza radical.
