Showdown in Houston over LGBT nondiscrimination ordinance
CNS News ^ | 10/25/2015 | JUAN A. LOZANO and DAVID CRARY

Posted on 10/25/2015 7:23:53 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

After a drawn-out showdown between Houston's popular lesbian mayor and a coalition of conservative pastors, voters in the nation's fourth-largest city will soon decide whether to establish nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people.

Nationwide, there's interest in the Nov. 3 referendum: Confrontations over the same issue are flaring in many places, at the state and local level, now that nondiscrimination has replaced same-sex marriage as the No. 1 priority for the LGBT-rights movement.

"The vote in Houston will carry national significance," said Sarah Warbelow, legal director of the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBT-rights group. She noted that Houston, with 2.2 million residents, is more populous than 15 states.

Houston must be a mess to have elected her.

By the way, isn't Houston the nation's third largest city?

Hey, why isn’t Houston’s most well known Pastor a part of this case? Oh, that’s right...Joel Osteen supports the Mayor and led the Benidiction ceremony when the Lesbian was sworn in to office. False phoney!

If Houston is willing to elect a sodomite mayor they deserve what they get.

Hopefully the state legislature will take issue.

Oh, look, a transgender male that likes to molest girls in women’s bathrooms...and wants to go into women’s bathrooms.

I live and will vote here but the commercials are crazy crazy. The commercials are crazy crazy. I live north of Houston.
I’ll be honest, Is Prop 1 for guys using a bathroom with females or is it for the homestead tax help or what, I’m not sure if it’s 2 separate Props or what???

100% serious. Joel Osteen is one of the greatest deceivers today, like Jeremiah warned us about, preaching peace when there is no peace. Look up his benediction ceremony for Houston’s Lesbian Pastor on Youtube

They play games with the city border to keep a liberal majority. The county wide offices are mostly (if not all) Republican. It is like that in many large cities.

All people are created equal. No one needs extra protection. Simply enforce laws that exist. It really isn’t that hard! Of course, I’m not a socialist agitator either.

What's the point? even if 90% of the city votes down the referendum, the Democratic Socialist dictatorship will demand it be put in place be judicial fiat.

It's political jerking off.

One is a municipal proposition for perversity and the other is a state proposition upping the homestead exemption amount for tax purposes.

I don’t know, I have big time insomnia and I am awake most nights to watch his buddies Mike Murdock and Todd.
You must plant your $1189 seed or whatever you can afford and for sure your harvest will grow grow grow.
As a matter of fact it may grow in 24 or maybe 72 hours but for sure it will will grow. You must give now, run to the phone

Everyone is false at one time or another except for Jesus Christ.
