I guess the message is to never get in the way of people's unfettered right to hate and to enforce that hate and discrimination with government edict. Great way to treat some of "all God's children".
The Mayor trying to overreach and mess with freedom of speech, as well as the bathroom issue, are likely the sole reasons this failed. No doubt otherwise it probably would have passed.

Greg, do you have a daughter? Do you support a "female" with a penis using same restroom that your daughter uses? When did you come to the conclusion that this was OK?
If it's too dangerous to allow people with penises into women's restrooms because they might sexually assault girls, then why allow them into men's rooms with boys? There are tons of pedophiles out there who want to rape or otherwise abuse boys. If the argument of the opponents of the Houston ordinance makes logical sense, then it seems that they should be advocating for only allowing one person (or one parent and his/her child) into a bathroom at a time. If allowing a predator into a bathroom with a potential victim is such a big problem when it's a male predator and a female victim, then it should also be a problem when it's a male predator and a male victim (or female predator and female victim, for that matter). The fact that no one is advocating that tells me that the opposition to the ordinance isn't about protecting people from sexual assault. It's about something else.
