It kills me to write this post. I have spent more time worshiping Beyoncé than just about any other pop star. I've spent countless hours dancing to "Grown Woman" alone in my apartment. I've been the only guy in a dance class aimed at teaching the "Single Ladies" dance, and I loved every second of it. Beyoncé has been queen in my life since the first time I watched the "Crazy In Love" video.
But.
Over the past few months, Beyoncé has repeatedly refused the opportunity to speak out against the legalization of discrimination against LGBT people in her hometown...
Last night Houstonians voted to repeal the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), a city ordinance prohibiting discrimination on the basis of 15 different characteristics, including race, sex, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity. HERO’s repeal is likely the biggest setback for LGBT civil rights since the 2008 passage of Prop 8 in California.
In August, I found out that HERO would be going up for a public repeal vote, and my stomach turned. Laws like HERO tend to lose, badly, when they’re put up for a public vote. I thought about my friends in Houston -- activists I had worked with on HERO for months, people who had dedicated their work, their free time, and their emotional energy to ending discrimination in their hometown. I imagined watching their hard work erased at the ballot box. I imagined having to sit through another expensive, brutal campaign about whether it should be legal to discriminate against LGBT people. I wanted to help.
So I did what any god-fearing gay man does in his time of need. I turned to Beyoncé....

He’s unaffected. He doesn’t even live in the area even though he campaigned on behalf of this measure.
the fairy in the WH knows this too. Its the reason he uses his phone and pens like magic wands because he knows there's too many sane people in the U.S. who would NOT allow him to do the things he's done if it were put to a vote.
The homofascists immediate response was to seek to cause financial boycotts of the city including an attempt to get the Superbowl and Final Four games moved out of Houston in 2016 and 2017.
Additionally the lame duck lesbian mayor may still try to push through new legislation in her final month in office.
I don’t know why but...bmfl
Gee, the B-word ignored me too!
Should I be offended (boo hoo)?
Prop 8 in California is simply referred to as Prop 8 around the country but Prop 1 in Houston is simply referred to as HERO around the world.
Too many pink journalists defining the terms in the debate.
Not to worry, drama boy. A court of black robed sympathizer judges agrees and will soon overturn the silly and pointless "public vote."
Sooooo confusing as to who uses what ‘terlet’ to pee and crap in. Fluxin madness of the 21st Century. Have special terlets for pervs and charge them for it.
No wonder businesses these days often say “No public restroom”.
Despite the militant jihad bigmouths, a lot of people still have major problems with johnsons being in the women’s bathroom or locker room.
A HANDFUL of affected persons.
This was a camel’s nose under the tent to dictating all sorts of controls on private businesses and churches with a liberal city tribunal to ‘investigate’ matters.
dancing to “Grown Woman” alone in my apartment
“Crazy in Love”
Key words above:
1. Alone
2. Crazy
Fool ought to eat some drano and do their worthless sorry a ss in.
Perhaps he is thinking of one of the Greek gods, like Zeus who abducted Ganymede to be his catamite. Or perhaps some other pagan religion had a poofter-deity.
Very tall building
Toss his sick ass off
I believe Mr. Carter is not gonna like this.
This about sums it up.
No scat Captain Obvious your ilk only makes up 5% of the population.
