    I'm curious where all the money for these stupid bathroom ads came from.

    So, good to see "tranny" and "shemale" are still the terms of choice one can say openly. I guess you don't have the guts to say "f*****" or "******," so better move on to the next one.

    Honestly, how does a transsexual person's life affect yours so much that you care enough to deride them?

    Maybe we should separate bathrooms by age AND gender too right?

    Wouldn't want sexual predators using the restroom with little boys too. After all, sexual predators prey on little boys as well.

    Being simplistic doesn't make it wrong. Those that voted against it are simply ok with discrimination.

    I agree that this is only a temporary win. It's only a matter of time before another prop is presented and it gets passed, having said that, I'm glad that prop1 didn't pass! This prop is/was a definite indicator of where we are in human evolution. (no, not monkey-man evolution) It's a sign of the times!!!

    Some of the donors are in this thread.

    From afar, with deep laughter, I await the tales of citizen policing gone wrong. :grin:

    Annise Parker leaving office might be even better news than HERO failing. Worst mayor Houston has had in a long time.

    wrong

    you have to avoid unintended consequences. It's not as cut and dry as you're trying to make it out to be.

    Lol I guess that's the best argument you had for support of the ordinance? Pretty pathetic.

    careful -- these are liberal Houston voters! I guess the liberals are the party of bigotry.

    I sure hope we go further and make sure to have under 12 bathrooms for little boys too so that we can avoid these unintended consequences.

    just comes to show how many dumb, naive people are out there. Hearing their child get raped prevents them from using any other logic or reasoning that may favor this ordinance. common sense is hard to come by, now adays

    Well what can you do? I went and voted while many didn't. Just like in sports, the HERO folks didn't want it as much as the Religious right didn't.

    Parker really handled this poorly and I think will ruin her politically.

    Still feel for the TG crowd.

    Everyone loves Democracy until they find out they are in the minority. A bit of butt-hurt was expected from those on the far left on this board.
