From Monica Roberts at TransGriot, Houston Mayor Annise Parker to indignant constituent:
Monica, as usual, calls ‘em like she sees ‘em:
Well, as those of us who supported HERO tried to tell you peeps who fell for the GOP okey doke and lies back on November 3, the HERO ordinance was about providing a local remedy to combat Houston area discrimination for 15 categories. It wasn't just an LGBT ordinance or about the bathrooms.
But hell, at least they kept those non-existent male predators in drag out of the ladies rooms.
Not so much the predators in drab, though. One of the douch leaders of the anti-HERO forces is a lawyer who is defending a man who placed cameras in women’s rooms. The photographer apparently wore male attire while placing the cameras, so he’s not like a perv or anything--just boys being boys. Monica has more in her Ads the HERO Defenders Should Have Been Running posts. Great ads. Timing sucks, though.
