The defeat of the Bathroom Bill is getting all the attention.

But the history behind the repeal of the Mayor's unilateral "Civil Rights" ordinance shows how determined she was to allow unstable men into girls restrooms.

...and why she's so mad today.

1. Mayor refused to put ordinance on the ballot
2. Mayor refused to acknowledge petition to put ordinance on ballot.
3. Mayor attempted to get Sermons of pastors and preachers who opposed the ordinance.
4. Mayor backed down after national protest.
5. TX Supreme Court ordered it's repeal or put on Nov ballot after lower court ruling challenged by the Mayor.
6. Ballot language contested due to confusing double-negative language.
7. Ballot language drawn up as Civil Rights bill.
8. Houstonians were not fooled.

Thanks for your great post.

It shows how truly lawless (criminal, in my view) she and her cronies were.

She and some of her lapdogs should have been prosecuted for circumventing the law.

Yup, she and her criminal city attorney tried every trick in the book-- legal and illegal- to keep this monstrosity on the books.

They both ought to be indicted on civil rights violations for trying to use the subpoena power to intimidate their political opponents.
