Comments on: Houston mayor issues sweeping non-discrimination order http://www.dallasvoice.com/houston-mayor-issues-sweeping-non-discrimination-order-1013407.html Premier Dallas LGBT Website Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:02:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: David in Houston http://www.dallasvoice.com/houston-mayor-issues-sweeping-non-discrimination-order-1013407.html/comment-page-1#comment-8881 David in Houston Sat, 03 Apr 2010 13:19:27 +0000 http://www.dallasvoice.com/instant-tea/?p=13407#comment-8881 "After the Houston City Council approved DP benefits several years ago, the issue was placed on the ballot. Not only were the benefits rescinded, but the referendum also mandated that any future change to that policy would need to be approved in another election." How many years ago did this happen? So just a few years ago the voters were homophobic a-holes voting down DP benefits, and now we have a lesbian mayor? Seems like a major shift in tolerance. I would hope that any DP ballot measure would easily pass now. “After the Houston City Council approved DP benefits several years ago, the issue was placed on the ballot.

Everybody deserves the right to go to work and not be harassed or discriminated against. Now, Houston needs to approve Domestic Partnership benefits. Remember, it's not about special rights-just equal ones. This is excellent news! Everybody deserves the right to go to work and not be harassed or discriminated against.
