Christians across the nation are mobilizing to defend a group of Houston pastors who were ordered by the city to turn over any sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity issues or Houston mayor. Their message is simple – Don’t Mess with Texas Preachers.
Dave Welch, the executive director of the Texas Pastor Council, is one of the five ministers who received a subpoena. He said he will not be intimidated by Annise Parker, who is the city's first openly lesbian mayor, nor will he comply with the city’s demands.
“My answer to that is – bring it on,” he said.
Houston’s city attorney issued the subpoenas in a response to a lawsuit filed related to the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (H.E.R.O.), the city's new non-discrimination ordinance, also known as the “Bathroom Bill.”
The new law, which has yet to take effect, would (among other things) allow men who identify as women to use the restrooms of their choice – and vice versa. Opponents launched a petition drive to put the issue on the ballot.
However, the city threw out the petitions claiming there were not enough legitimate signatures. Opponents then filed a lawsuit – which led the city to issue the subpoenas.
Ironically, none of the five subpoenaed pastors are plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

can you imagine a city doing this to a bunch of local imams?
yeah, me neither.
The mayor is a lesbian and is using every dirty, unlawful trick in the book to go after her enemies. She has no shame, leftists never do.
How in the H3LL did they elect a lesbo Mayor? Seriously this is TEXAS we are talking about not Minnesota or Californication.
My response as a Pastor would be much more targeted sermons against the Abomination that is homosexuality/Sodomy in general with a strong and repeated condemnation against the new immoral ordinance enacted by the city of Houston.
The mayor needs to be removed and sued-violation of civil rights. Churches and parishioners should notice have had to pay onevthin dimensions to lawyers who are required to respond to this clear, unconstitutional abuse of authority. We need to go on the offensive.
It’s Houston... The armpit of Texas.
They elected her the same way they elected Sheila Jackson Lee. ‘Nuff said.
If I were a Pastor, I’m afraid my response would be very unpastor-like.
Scratch a leftist and just underneath the skin lurks a fascist.
Mayor Anus Porker is Exhibit A to that!
Perfect example why elections have consequences. IIRC only about 5% of the Houston electorate bothered to vote when gay Mayor Porker ran. 5%, that's about all the lesbos, homos and trannies and whatever other scum sucking vermin Houston has residing inside its city limits.

Well said.
Well....I think he should be made to answer that issue again.
Hey Louie!
Have you changed your position on faggots?

Excellent!
These political thugs want to know what the pastors are talking about? Pick up a Bible and read some of it, morons. It’s been in print for - gosh, what? - ages!
worked for them... right?
Well, the mayor is obvious a witch, and I figure that City Attorney David Feldman is her familiar.
On a side matter does anyone know if Breitbart is down today. Perhaps my ISP is blocking it. Anyone else having problems bringing up Breitbart.com this afternoon? I’ve been trying for about 2-3 hours with no success as of yet?
