Perhaps you missed this story, making the rounds last week about Joan and Drake Wilson. Joan Wilson who lives in Washington state was so outraged by the discriminatory HERO vote in Houston late last year, she took out a $200 advertisement in Houston’s daily newspaper to celebrate her son’s decision to come out as gay. You can read the full story in Towleroad here.
What was the HERO vote in Houston all about? Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) was a public referendum, anti-discrimination ordinance that Houston voted down. The campaign against HERO became quite nasty and a crusade of sorts for conservatives who made outrageous claims about men taking over women’s bathrooms.

I’m gay and live here in Houston. From what I could gather the major problem was the restroom policy. To many Str8 folks didn”t like the idea of co-ed restrooms.

Hmmm they don’t seem to mind coed bathrooms on airplanes.

I did find it quite comical that during the HERO debate the “Christian” conservatives were worried about men potentially taking over the women’s restroom – yet they are a-okay with their taking over of a woman’s uterus.
Hmmm
