In Houston: Judge blocks same-sex city benefits

Really, Haters?

This fight against equality is disgusting.

A state district judge ordered the city of Houston to stop offering health and life insurance benefits to the married gay employees. The city attorneys will appeal this mess, since it was done before and they won!

These hate leaders are relentless! They are fighting this with everything they got and it's so ridic! And to make matters worse, there are 3 lawsuits against HERO... Mostly over the policy violating the gay marriage ban.

Don't they realize that DOMA is unconstitutional? That trying to hold on these bigoted views are... I can't with this folks.

WATCH Ted Cruz's Message to Anti-Gay Pastors in Houston

Seen at the 'I Stand Sunday' Rally

I saw this on Facebook. This is from the rally in Houston against the HERO initiative. Seriously, these people are the worst. And the fact that a child is wearing this shirt is beyond troubling.

If these folks can't handle change, then leave, in fact leave the planet because there's more to come, bigots.

In Houston: Haters may not have enough Signatures to Repeal HERO

Today, the Houston officials will announce if the petition to force a vote on the city's new nondiscrimination ordinance (HERO) will actually happen.

Haters claimed to have gathered enough valid signatures (31K) to repeal the measure in November.

However, it looks like a good chunk of them are not valid.

City Attorney David Feldman spilt the tea, saying that more than 5,000 pages fell short of legal requirements. In fact, many of the signatures were not qualified or registered Houston voters. See how these so-called Christians act? Anywho, we will know tomorrow if this foolishness goes any further.

Hate Leaders deliver signatures seeking repeal Houston's Non-Discrimination Ordinance

After Houston passed the non-discrimination ordinance, religious leaders vowed to force the issue on a November vote. Well, they claim to have more than enough signatures to it.

A group of bigots turned in more than 50,000 signatures within the 30-day window of the ordinance's passing. They have to have 30,000 registered Houston voters for it to move forward.

Here's more:

"It has been shown and demonstrated that the people of the city do not want this ordinance," said pastor Max Miller, of the Baptist Ministers Association of Houston and Vicinity. "We simply say: Allow the people to vote on this ordinance."

Staff in the city secretary's office will have 30 days to verify the petitions, said Mayor Annise Parker, who pledged to fight the effort to overturn the ordinance should it make the November ballot.

"This was not a narrowly focused, special-interest ordinance," said Parker, the first openly lesbian mayor of a major American city. "This is something that the business and civic community of Houston was firmly behind and we fully expect if there is a campaign that it will be a spirited campaign, but we'll have the same outcome in November as we had around the council table."

This is silly. These so-called leaders are nothing but bigots in disguise.

In Houston: LGBT Nondiscrimination Ordinance vote Delayed for 2 weeks

The Houston City Council hosted a debate over the LGBT nondiscrimination ordinance. Haters tried to paint their bigotry over the idea, while LGBT activists presented why it is the right thing to do.

However, the biggest issue was about Transgender access to bathrooms. At the 11th hour, Mayor Annise Parker made a last-minute change to the draft, in an attempt to deal with the critics. Because of this, the vote was pushed back.

In Houston: Civil Rights Proposal packs Council Chamber

Yesterday, a packed crowd attended Houston City Council chambers for a hearing on Houston's civil rights ordinance proposal.

It was great to see our folks represent

A transgender student was attacked at Houston Community College

I feel like this is a pattern.

Fox News in Houston reports:

A transgender student was attacked at knife-point and beaten at Houston Community College and some are calling it a hate crime.

The true motive is still murky, since the suspect also stole the victim’s wallet.

But as a result, Lance Reyna is sorting out stolen credit cards and shaken nerves.

Reyna was born a female but began the gender reassignment process about five years ago.

On Tuesday afternoon, at HCC’s central campus, Reyna used the restroom. He was washing up at the sink when he says a man grabbed him in a headlock, calling out in a mocking voice, “Hey, queer.”

“I was about to say, ‘Okay, cut it out, Brandon,’ or whoever it was like one of my friends,” says Reyna. “Then all of a sudden he put a razor to my neck.”

Reyna remembers panicking as the stranger warned him to be quiet and cooperate.

“I was scared, I really was scared. He had the blade up there and he kind of made little strokes like he was going to cut me. And I'm just like, well, let me tuck my chin in so that way I don't bleed to death.”

Pastor David Grisham is an Asshole

Pastor David Grisham is so shaken by the new Houston mayor, Annise Parker, he wants to boycott her.

Lesbianism doesn't poison you, idiot!

Launched just a few days ago, www.boycotthouston.com is Grisham's way of giving righteous Texans a chance to send a message to Houstonians that they have sinned by electing an openly gay mayor and by allowing a super-sized abortion clinic to be built here.

"The main reason for the boycott is simply because it's about the only way that people in the rest of the state of Texas -- outside of Houston -- can actually take a stand for righteousness in the city of Houston," Grisham tells Hair Balls. "Now, Jesus said that we were to preach the gospel through all the world, and that includes Houston, Texas"

Jesus don't need you to do a goddamned thing. Somebody smack him, please.
