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.

I take it that's an Episcopalian standing behind the two brides.
I wonder if there is any chance at all for the redemption of this country...the Godless perverts seem to have completely taken over.
These stupid liberals are in power and continue to stay in power, even after passing outrageous legislation like this. What does that say about us?
If conservatives can't defeat people lowlifes like this in elections, then what does that say about us?
Was she molested as a girl, and now shes rationalizing that it wasnt that bad a thing, since it helped to make her the great person she is today?
The fact that you and many other conservatives ask questions like this is one of the main reasons we always lose to these people.
You're trying to rationalize the irrational. You're trying to make sense of the insane.
These bastards need to be ATTACKED and DESTROYED. The same way they've been attacking and destroying us for decades.
It's the only way to defeat them.
As another poster said, if my daughter was going to the bathroom and I was standing guard outside (which would seem advisable, given this insanity), and some perv tried to enter, he would be politely detained until she was finished. If he insisted on pressing the issue, he’d go to the bathroom in his pants ... on the way to the hospital.
I’m wondering what Obama’s take on this it. Surely he heard about it in the news.
I know I'll do my damndest to defeat them.
You understand. People get the government they deserve. Liberals have dramatically changed the culture. Liberal crackpots don't just show up in elected office...... they get elected. People choose them, by the millions.
The perv would call the cops, call you a racist, and the cops would stomp your face repeatedly. Then you'd be sued for violating his civil rights.
The country has changed.
It's been said that the whole country got what they voted for---Obama. Keep in mind that a lot of us never cast a vote for him.
Although I don't know the liberal/conservative divide in Houston, I don't doubt that many did not vote for Porker. They're stuck with her AND Obama.
I’ve heard something like this quote before.
The country can survive Obama, it cannot survive an electorate dumb enough to elect him twice.
In the old days men who wanted to rape a girl could trap her in an elevator... this ruling will make that crime easier.
Maybe. And maybe the cop has daughters of his own, and it's not MY face that would get stomped. Or maybe I'm not going to hang around waiting for the law to arrive after I put this guy in a dumpster.
But yeah, the country sure has changed.
time for a lawsuit
1. Definitely in response to a sexual assault
The homosexuals supporting the mayor will ask the marriage question: “How does it hurt you that I’m peeing in the same restroom as you?”
Answer: it increases the danger
And bathrooms are just the start. I work in a conservative office in Houston & there is a dress code - with different rules for men & women. I can’t wait to see one of my male co-workers report for work in sandals, & when the supervisor tells him to go home & change, & he replies, oh, my feet “identify as female” today, & sandals for women are acceptable per the dress code. Then sandals will be banned for everyone, & the women will raise hell.
The only silver lining I see in this is much of corporate America has bought into all the diversity foolishness, & now it’s going to bite them in the rear. Lesson of the scorpion & all that.
The transgender agenda termites are out in full force. They also want to transgenderize the military.
Yup, I have a client who shall remain unnamed but they sponsor the Houston Gay and Lesbian Club of some sort... I can’t wait to see what happens to them.
Like I said, “where’s my damn popcorn?”

Does this mean that high school boys will finally be able to live the ultimate fantasy of going into the girls showers and dressing rooms?
America is insane. This is Texas.
What does state law say about this?
