It’s now legal for men to use women’s bathrooms, showers, and dressing facilities – and vice-versa – thanks to the passing of the Equal Rights Ordinance in Houston, TX.
Mayor Parker, Houston’s first openly gay mayor, called it “most personally meaningful thing I will ever do as mayor.”
The ordinance’s stated goal is to eliminate discrimination in housing and employment for gays, transgenders – 14-characteristics in total – including race, ethnicity, age, religion and disability.

This is just sick and twisted! What kind of people are living in Houston to vote on this trash! No wonder I do not like Houston!! I am ashamed to admit that Houston is in Texas!!! WHAT IDIOTS!!!
First of all the people of Houston did not vote on this. The city council did, and trust me this will not stand. So get your facts straight before you start talking trash about us.
Well, the people of Houston did vote this woman in as mayor and you did vote in the city council. You get what you vote for.

is it me or is this person “twisted”???
How do you sign the petition?
I don’t know about the petition but I don’t think this law will last.
This is the dumbest decision ever. This will now make it easier for rapists and pedophiles everywhere. Wow such a genius Ms. Parker is. This is just bs
Y’all really think a sexual predator or rapist really cares if a restroom is labeled “men” or “women”.? If he/she/ze wants to abuse someone else they will! gender-neutral bathrooms are not the problem.
Who cares. People of solid upbringing will still go with the norm. The sick ones will not. I see a lot of litigation coming down the road for the over paid lawyers. Sad day…..
I am a transgendered person and know the difficulty about having to choose the “right” restroom to go to, however, I don’t think it should be a free for all. How about passing an ordinance about having a SEPARATE gender-neutral restroom for those who choose to use it. It’s uncomfortable for me to use a public restroom already, don’t make it like that for everyone too.
I am from McAllen TX and I will sign that petition. The Gay mayor is trying to get equal rights for her people, completely overlooking the privacy that straight people desire. The safety issue is huge, just because people are gay does not mean they don’t have pedophile tendencies. There’s allot of disturbed straight, gay, transgendered people out there and that mayor just gave them an easy access to small children and women. I don’t care how you put it it’s wrong.
I totally agree with you Alex My fiance and I want to petition this too. We live in the outskirts of houston so this made me furious. I want her out of office.
