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.

I’m just wondering who benefits from this? Is there a crowd somewhere clamoring to be allowed in the opposite sex’s toilet? So aside from further blurring the natural distinction between men and women, and thereby normalizing deviancy, is there any reason at all to allow this?
Good haircut.

Most important? Do gays have an unusual fixation on genitalia issues?
Who would have thought that a major city in Texas would do this before Seattle and San Francisco did it?
Most Conservatives & T.E.A. Partiers live outside Houston city limits!
Normal people don't have rights in Houston.
Only queers and degenerates have rights in Houston.
“Welcome to the Chromosomal Restrooms:

And the new militarized police forces will drag you away. The illness that is corrupting America must be expunged at the top. The radical left is like termites. They are eating away the foundations of society.
Parker has certainly secured the Pedophile vote....
Men will be catching hell in public for leaving the seat up?
Houston???
Not Berkeley, Calif., Boulder, Colo. or Cambridge, Mass. but Houston? Unbelievable!
"But there'll be new 'bums' to take their place," you say. That's right. But the key is do your best to elect the right politicians but focus on making it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.
Hold politicians' feet to the fire regardless of who you like or not. View politicians as a necessary evil like government. Keep a short chain on 'em.
The sooner the quicker.
Maybe the lesbian rely does want men after all?
Houston morons getting what they voted for.
