(There is some speculation that the Mayor may be looking to get into professional football after the recall boots her out of office...)

HOUSTON, Texas—Houston’s 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, Houston’s 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.

Don't squelch my fantasy!
Good. Hope they get the site up and running properly, soon. This needs to happen fast (within 30 days, IIUC).
Needs to go to area churches, etc. I know Dr Ed Young sent out a church wide letter AGAINST this. Many other area pastors did, as well.
Parents and others need to organize a massive protest at city hall
wtf?!? In Texas even?!?
Need to kick Houston (and Austin) OUT of Texas... like, into mid Gulf of Mexico :p

Steers and Queers.
Huntsville Prison is conveniently located near Houston and they actually execute criminals there. So that’s a plus.
I guess it does. Houston is a blight on Texas.
I wonder if the governor can make them stop.
For the homonazi crowd, that is reason enough. Otherwise it wouldn't be considered so important by the Mayor.
Perverts are most comfortable in public restrooms.
bttt
I remember a lesbo gym teacher who always managed the girls showers and insisted every girl get in the shower before leaving class. She planted herself in the shower room with a check board to make sure she got to watch all the teens shower. She failed me in gym because I would not get naked for her. Seventh grade.
Does she still work there?
Texans, she still in office?
