Former Houston Astro Lance Berkman made it clear this week in a Campaign for Houston ad!
“No men in women’s bathrooms, no boys in girls’ showers or locker rooms!”
The baseball player stated, “This would violate [women’s] privacy and put them in harm’s way.”
The ad is in response to the deceptive Proposition 1, the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance that comes to popular vote on Nov. 3.
The proposition is a result of the Texas Supreme Court smacking down Houston Mayor Annise Parker’s unlawful bathrooms ordinance in August.
The court opinion stated, “The legislative power reserved to the people of Houston is not being honored!”
“If the city council does not repeal the ordinance by August 24, 2015, then by that date the city council must order that the ordinance be put to popular vote during the November 2015 election.”
The court then suspended any enforcement of the ordinance.
So what the liar of a Mayor did next was abhorrent. They wrote the Proposition 1 to look like a general rights protection… with the bathrooms part as a small tiny little part! She knew good and well if it went to the vote as a bathroom Proposition, it would not pass… even in liberal Houston.
