Supposedly the argument that defeating HERO would have negative economic consequences was a persuasive argument hopefully people will keep that in mind when a similar ordinance comes up for a vote in the future.
Well homosexuality with in the black community goes deeper than religion and this topic. Homosexual acts was forced and inflicted onto our community to keep us inline if you get my drift.

Are you saying old time whites sodomized blacks to modify their behavior? Is Houston the only place this went on ?

So are you saying only blacks in Houston feel negatively about gays???

What's the argument here. I answered why I think this didn't pass, but you'd rather keep it going. Just come out and say what you want or drop it.

I was trying to understand what the heck you posted. what does "Homosexual acts was forced and inflicted onto our community to keep us inline if you get my drift" mean?and no I don't fully get your drift.

The question was and still is why is the African AMerican community in Houston is so unique in their distrust of the LGBT community. If you don't know just say so.

Id be interested to know in what context. Ive noticed African Americans tend to be far less tolerant than any other group toward homosexuals aside from evangelicals and Muslims.

Why is that? Ive always chalked it up to the uber religious nature that seems to be ever present in the black community.

No one has been able to answer your question, but I think I've solved the mystery. I've concluded Houston has a much larger preponderance of sexual deviates than anywhere else. What else could explain the number of adult Houstonians in this thread who are fixated on who pees where?
