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.

I’ve never heard of job discrimination against military. Am I just uninformed?

Why does it rain, Mommy?
It rains because Jesus is crying, honey.
Why is Jesus crying, Mommy?
It’s probably something you did.

Well, if I didn’t hate homosexuals so much, I’d feel bad. As it is, I’m happy He’s going to destroy all those horrible evil-doers.

You don't read the Bible much, do you?
Homosexuals aren't "born that way".
They had to "Earn their REPROBATE MIND" by
refusing God ~ not once, ~ not twice, ~ but THREE times!
You need to
not only read, BUT STUDY this link I especially agree with its last paragraph.
" The Church NEVER can and NEVER will give satisfactionand the homosexualist knows it,
for he knows the words against him are INERADICABLE
to the declared and impenitent homosexual,the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will,has identified his person with a sin,whether HE DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SINthrough "love,"
or VINDICATIONTHROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES AS BIGOTS.
Whether HE PRESENTS HIMSELF as an object of love or indignation,what HE DEMANDS in either case IS ACCEPTANCEnot of the person,but OF THE SIN-bound and SIN-DEFINED person.
HE DEMANDS the declaration of SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY thatTHERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVELY DISORDERED about this BINDING OF MAN TO SIN,and ASSURANCE that THIS MONSTROUS AMALGAM can indeed ENTER the kingdom of heaven.
This can NEVER HAPPEN among Christians UNTIL THEY ABANDON Christianity,WHICH IS AT WAR WITH EVERY SIN,and whose indelible constitutionplaces ALL PERVERSIONS of the perfect manAT THE MUZZLE of its canons. "
There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
They WILL BE
ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !

Stop and think,
REALLY THINK HARD, and PONDER this for a while.
You ask a very good question,
IF you were serious, and not sarcastic. But to really understand it,
you have to dig deeper.
Lets start with
Romans 1:16-32.
For I am NOT ASHAMED of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvationto every one that believeth;
For THEREIN IS the righteousness of GodThe just shall live by faith.
You might want to take a look at
Habakkuk 2:1-9, and especially verse 4.
Don't miss the importance of this because the rest of this information FROM GOD, is built on the understanding of this part in Romans 1:16-17.
Now, on to the next great information.
For the WRATH of God is revealed FROM heavenAGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN,who HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;Because THAT WHICH MAY BE KNOWN of GodIS MANIFEST IN THEM;for God HATH SHEWED IT UNTO THEM.
That last part is very important.
How many times must God warn them?
You might want to take a read of
Luke 8:1-21 to understand why some people just will NOT listen and OBEY.
But on to the next part.
For THE INVISIBLE THINGS of himfrom the creation of the worldARE CLEARLY SEEN,being understood BY the things THAT ARE MADE,even his eternal power and Godhead;so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE:
Because that,WHEN THEY KNEW GOD,THEY glorified him NOT AS GOD,NEITHER were thankful;but BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS,and THEIR FOOLISH HEART was DARKENED .
There is so much to cover hear, but the order which God has stated it in the Bible must not be ignored.
Think of microscopic when you read
" the invisible things", but that's not the ONLY interpretation to be considered.
But it should help you to grasp the meaning
"are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made".
"Became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened" is a very good insight on HOW this ABOMINATION starts.
But don't forget the verses before that, because they have been pointing out HOW the "homosexuals" got to this point in their destruction.
Now we start a more rapid destruction of their mind and hearty with the next verses.
PROFESSING THEMSELVES TO BE wise,THEY BECAME FOOLS ,And CHANGED THE GLORY OF THE UNCORRUPTIBLE GODINTO AN IMAGEMADE LIKE TO CORRUPTIBLE MAN,and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God ALSO GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS,TO DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES between themselves:Who CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD INTO A LIE,and WORSHIPPEDand SERVED the creature MORE THAN THE CREATOR ,
Now it's becoming clear that there are MANY steps down the path to destruction, that these individuals have taken.
Some more insight can be found in
Genesis 19 about just how evil and destructive homosexuals really are.
So, we continue with verses 26 and 27 of Romans 1.
FOR THIS CAUSEGOD GAVE THEM UP UNTO VILE AFFECTION:for even THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE the NATURAL USEinto that WHICH IS AGAINST NATURE:
And likewise ALSO THE MEN,LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMEN,BURNED IN THEIR LUST one toward another;men with men WORKING THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY,and RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES THAT RECOMPENCE OF THEIR ERROR
Now you can see that God
"gave them up", or in other words, He quit trying to convince them, that His WAYS were life-giving,
and allowed them to go their own way.
Their error would be a very strong lesson to all who will see, that it does lead to death.
Read again about
meat and milk as far as spiritual knowledge goes.
Now God has laid this information out for us in a certain order for a reason, and that reason is
the choice between Life or Death.
Lets finish this.
And even as THEY DID NOT LIKE TO RETAIN GOD IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE ,GOD GAVE THEM OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND,TO DO THOSE THINGSs which are NOT convenient;BEING FILLED with ALL unrighteousness,fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;FULL of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God,despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers,without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD,that THEY WICH COMMIT SUCH THINGS
NOT ONLY DO THE SAME,
Homosexual perversion is NOT a NATURAL punitive response to something else.
It's a GOD GIVEN PUNISHMENT
(a MARK in their head {or mind}, in their hand {or actions}, and in their heart {or what they love} ),
and it IS a Satanic DELUSION for the homosexual to THINK that God had nothing to do with it.
Have you not read the Book of Job ? It will help you to understandthat Satanhas to have PERMISSION from our Heavenly Father
So in closing, we've covered
THE CAUSE that God gave them over to a
REPROBATE MIND.

I am sure there are some liberal employer groups that won’t hire anyone who has been in the military but this just points out some of the lies by those running ads urging people to vote for the Proposition. The guy who did the ad said his only recourse was to hire a lawyer but where was he going to get the money to do that? I’m sure there are many LIV’s who believed every word of it.

So, it’s a woman, trapped in a man’s body, who is “transitioning” to be a woman, who abused a 14 year old girl?
I think he takes the “lesbian trapped in a man’s body” a bit too literal

Different props. Statewide Proposition 1 is the tax relief stuff, Houston City Prop 1 is the bathroom/”sex rights” ordinance.

Her career is over as mayor anyway - she’s term limited, and cannot run again, for mayor.
Now, for representative, or governor, or whatever, she can (and probably will).
