Houston, we have a problem.

That's the message supporters of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) are sending after voters rejected the measure Tuesday by a margin of 61 percent to 39 percent.

Just rule #2, that's all:
  1. SJWs always lie.
  2. SJWs always double down.
  3. SJWs always project.

“Though HERO lost at the ballot box, the fight is far from over, according to supporters and Parker, who is Houston’s first openly gay mayor.”

You see, the Left NEVER accepts defeat, unlike their Conservative counterparts. The LEFT NEVER gives up.

Typical leftist BS. When their measures pass they say “the people have spoken”. When they don’t, this is what you get.

Is it too late for Rosie O'Donnell?

Houston has already called the Oiler’s bluff. That’s why they are now the Tennessee Titans. I wouldn’t get my hopes up about the prospect of an NFL boycott changing anything.

Would most folks in Texas even notice if the NFL moved the Super Bowl? I mean, it’s been a long time since NFL-caliber football has been played in the state....

And if even that fails, keep suing and appealing until you reach the Supreme Court, then rely on John Roberts.

Since this article’s written by ABC, I already know they’re faggot friendly and pushing for a Super Bowl move. Here’s hoping football players are generally men who aren’t swayed by sinners.

@#$%^&*!

Can I still watch my beloved Green Bay Packers if I make you a Sammich?

I guess, ‘Packers’ takes on a whole new meaning as of today.

I repeat myself, but... @#$%^&*!

Why did the citizens of Houston elect this militant gay mayor in the first place. She is the one that wanted the contents of preachers sermons. Just horrible.

More like 47%.

I guess it isnt the law of the land.

What would these socialist totalitarians say if the other side lost and said they’d do what these knobs are threatening?

In Texas, mayoral and council elections have been set by law to reduce turnout. Attempts to move them to the dates of general elections are routinely defeated.
