If you didn't hear her press conference yesterday, it was a hoot.......She was lying through her teeth....Typical politician.....Oh and a lawsuit was filed against the city over HER ordinance......and a petition that was denied to put the ordinance to a city wide vote....This will be expensive.
 
Its on Matt Patricks website....you should listen to it.......
 
I am sick and tired of "activists" politicians......when you get elected either Mayor, Attorney General, President or dog catcher....you represent EVERYONE in your district, not just a select group you align yourself with...........
 
What an embarrassment..........

I agree! When is her term over anyways?
She even made it to the New York Times. She's a embarrassment for the City of Houston.

We have been catching snippets and can't figure out how all this came about.
Was it over voting speeches, gay rights, illegals, what?
 
Why the subpoena? Who sued who first? What prompted it and why?
I do know she's back stepping and where ever she steps, she seems to be steppin in it.
 
Just the short version please. Bullet points lol

It all stems from this ordinance that was passed without a city wide vote......it an "activists" mayor own personal agenda.....The city and Mayors office disavowed thousands of petition signatures to get it under the number required to get this to a vote....reasons unknown why

@macdaddy:
 
Thanks when I get more than a minute I'll catch up.
Maybe she should worry about the crime rising, the pot holes that swallow cars, and bringing good solid companies here to employ her citizens. Stop the campaigning and do some mayoring. Yes I know that's not a word. Lol
I'm getting older and more jaded by the day. Lol I asked dh the other day am I becoming a crotchety old woman? Or is the world gone to hell?
 
Btw I'm still waiting on his answer? Lol He is a wise man.

Basically the fuss is about HERO act, which was designed to curb discrimination against gay and transgender Houstonians. Most people just know about the "bathroom piece" because it allows transgenders to choose either the male or female restroom, and that's what is freaking everyone out.
 
The churches jumped in and organized petitions and whatnot, which then started stepping on toes of separating church and state and tax exemption laws, etc. The city lawyers then fought the petitions because of how they were gathered, which then extended to these subpoenas. Which was like throwing gasoline, fireworks, and dynamite on the already large fire.
 
Way oversimplified explanation, but you wanted just the nuggets. Emoticon

So it all started over bodily functions. No s**t. All pun intended.
I've lived in many places and guess what, we all go.
I've used coed bathrooms and I guess those things were not standing in the way of me going. Yes all stalls.

It is a civil rights law. It violates the rights of 99.99% in order to accomodate .001%.
 
Any man feeling a bit cheeky, dressed as woman walks into a ladies public restroom with my young daughters...they are going to be extremely sorry, no matter the law. It has nothing to do with shatting.

@Fairlane67:
 
really? I assume you will check the equipment to be sure before beating the "whatever" to a pulp.
 
hmmmmm......
 
much to-do about not much.
 
Parker trying to be activist Mayor overstepping her bounds. Needs to step back and check herself - I agree too many politicians on both sides of the aisle trying force personal agendas down peoples throats.
 
Put it on the ballot.

It is funny what you choose to read between the lines on, and what you do not.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't care what other's do as long as it's not hurting anyone.
 
I don't care who ya kiss, who and what your doin in bed, what color ya paint your house, or where ya park your car or put a fence.
Just as long as it doesn't kill me .
 
I think life is too short to worry about who feels good in a dress I guess.
 
It's sad this is how she'll ride out her term. She could have done something really big and good that lasted for a century.
Well I guess they all have the power to make a better place but get too drunk on the power.
