Quote:Houston’s bathrooms, showers, and dressing facilities will now be open to all, regardless of gender, gender identity, gender expression, or other predilection of gender behavior. By an 11-6 vote of the Houston City Council, Mayor Annise Parker achieved this as the crowning jewel of her tenure as mayor.

Mayor Parker, Houston’s first openly gay mayor, said passing this ordinance was not the most important thing she has done in office, according to an article in the Fairfield Citizen, but it is the “most personally meaningful thing I will ever do as mayor.”

Houston Council Member, At Large Position 3, Michael Kubosh took exception to this. Kubosh told KPRC TV, "It's going to criminalize people that have been found in violation in the ordinance and the fine could be between $500 to $5,000."

In an interview with Breitbart Texas, Kubosh said, “The system is flawed and has little, if any, transparency. I did everything I could do to get the ordinance delayed or defeated, but the mayor controlled the whole process.” Kubosh said he voted against the ordinance along with District A Council Member Brenda Stardig, District D Council Member Dwight Boykins, District E Council Member Dave Martin, District G Council Member Oliver Pennington and At Large Position 5 Council Member Jack Christi.

Stephen Costello, the At Large Position 1 Council Member who supported Mayor Parker on the Proposition 1 “Rain Tax” ordinance, joined ten other council members in standing beside Mayor Parker.

Not just trannies, anyone can use the women's room now. Even men that are dressed like men. Yeah, I don't see any potential for trouble there. None at all.

I don't get these Democrat politicians, what makes them so oblivious to the obvious negatives of their idiotic proposals?

Get on board and stop complaining or you'll never win another election. Embrace the sickness.
Republicans gotta get ahead of the Dems and propose freakyness, perversion and deviance first.

Hold it in until you get home if you don't like it (ie. your TV has an off button).

The men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter.

Girls cannot even take a crap in peace now. There are some
truly weird ideas out there in the world.

I told you Houston used to be a cool city. Now, it's a cesspool.

Can't wait for all the "peeping tom" and "hidden video camera" complaints/lawsuits that may come. Stupid decision by Houston mayor.

Unisex public restrooms + Google Glass = Liberal utopia.

Here's a good way to test this law(?). Have a guy go into the girl's room, pull out his cell, and start filming.

A gay guy wouldn't do this in a men's room because he knows he'd have to call his dentist afterward.

The paragraph specifying that no business open to the public could deny a transgender person entry to the restroom consistent with his or her gender identity was removed before the council voted on the ordinance.

The measure bans discrimination based not just on sexual orientation and gender identity but also, as federal laws do, sex, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion, disability, pregnancy and genetic information, as well as family, marital or military status.

Don't worry. I'm sure they'll put signs that say "Rape-free zone" on all the bathroom doors.

Look on the bright side, at least Tom can squat with the girls, legally, now.

Just changed over time as more and more people came from everywhere else. The dyke mayor has just taken it to the extreme. It used to have a very unique Texas culture about it which is all but gone now.

Nothing in Houston now but illegal aliens and queers. It's a liberal utopia, like flies to shiit.

Women lose, men will dirty up the women's (or non-gender specific room) bathroom to the point they won't even venture in there. Are women unhappy, offended, no one cares. Suck it. War on women by liberals.

The only thing left is to blame it on Republicans...

Houston has always been a cesspool.

Not always, but it wasn't exactly "inviting" 10 or 12 years ago.
