Houston Mayor Annise Parker, left, greets a supporter at a fund raiser for the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance in Houston on Thursday, Oct. The ordinance is a broad measure that would have consolidated existing bans on discrimination tied to race, sex, religion and other categories in employment, housing and public accommodations, and extend such protections to gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. The measure failed Nov. 3 after an ugly campaign. AP Photo/Pat Sullivan In a tough blow to LGBT people everywhere, Houston voters on Tuesday repealed a year-old nondiscrimination ordinance – a repeal that appeared to be largely driven by fears that it would enable sexual predators to enter women’s restrooms to assault young girls. The vote was 39 percent for and 61 percent against Proposition 1, asking whether voters wanted to retain the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO).

The law, passed by City Council in May of last year, prohibited discrimination against a wide range of minorities in a city where more than 50 percent of the population is a racial minority. But opponents of the measure, the Campaign for Houston, portrayed the ordinance as “The Bathroom Bill” and pounded the airwaves with an ad showing a man following a young girl into a public bathroom stall.
My wife got married sub indo homecoming. The voiceover warned that a vote for HERO would mean “any man at any time could enter a woman’s bathroom by simply claiming to be a woman that day.” “Even registered sex offenders could follow women or young girls into the bathroom and, if a business tried to stop them, they’d be fined,” said the ad. Supporters of the ordinance tried to counter the message with their own ad, showing a retired Houston police officer and “father of four girls” saying, “It’s already illegal for men to go into women’s restrooms to harm someone.” They also warned that, if Houston repealed the ordinance, it would likely mean a loss of major employers for the city and the loss of such high profile events as the Super Bowl.
Houston’s three-term Mayor Annise Parker, the first openly gay mayor of any major city in the country, championed the ordinance from the beginning and blamed its rejection on “a campaign of fear-mongering and deliberate lies.” She also made clear during the campaign that she felt the effort to repeal the ordinance was an attack on her and Tuesday’s vote was a particularly stinging loss for Parker, who is finishing up her term-limited third term as mayor. At a gathering of “Vote Yes on Prop 1” supporters Tuesday night, Parker reiterated those feelings, noting that, during her 40 years as a political activist, she has watched the city vote four times to deny equal rights to lesbians and gays.
“No one’s rights should be subject to a popular vote,” said Parker. “It is insulting, it is demeaning, and it is just wrong.” She said opponents of the ordinance ran a “calculated campaign of lies designed to demonize a little understood minority.” Parker said opponents – whom she characterized as “right-wing ideologues and religious right” – “just kept spewing an ugly wad of lies from our TV screens and from pulpits.” Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick portrayed the repeal effort as a pushback by the church to “stand up” in “a Christian nation.” And he sought to extend the political implications of the vote.
