Men Using Girls’ Bathrooms: Controversial Pro-Gay Ordinance Goes Into Effect If Activists Are Unable to Repeal.
The group Texas Values Action holds a demonstration against the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance.
An effort to repeal a controversial anti-discrimination ordinance in Houston, Texas, that purportedly would allow men to use women’s bathrooms has until Thursday to garner enough signatures to be considered or put to a vote on the November ballot.
In May, after an 11-hour meeting, the Houston City Council approved an “Equal Rights Ordinance” by a vote of 11 to 6. The ERO amends Chapters 2, 15 and 17 of Houston’s Code of Ordinances, prohibiting discrimination in public facilities and private employment on the basis of “protected characteristics.”
Critics of ERO have claimed that it will have several unintended consequences, such as allowing transgendered men to use women’s bathrooms.
“The city has admitted that the public accommodation section of the anti-religious liberty ordinance will protect men who want to use women’s bathrooms if they dress up as women,”Jonathan Saenz, a conservative activist and president of the pro-repeal group Texas Values Action, told The Christian Post.
Saenz also noted that there are strong concerns about the ordinance, especially regarding the issue of religious liberty for business owners.
“City Attorney David Feldman admitted at a public hearing that this ordinance will be used to prosecute photographers who do not want to participate in photographing same-sex wedding-like ceremonies,” he said
Good work saving “transgendered” until paragraph 3.
