Houston Texans owner donates $10K to anti-LGBTQ campaign



Houston Texans owner Bob McNair made a $10,000 donation this week to a local group that is advocating against LGBTQ rights.

The Campaign for Houston has been trying to take down the anti-discrimination proposition known as Houston's Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), or Proposition 1.

The ordinance would prohibit discrimination of any kind based on sex, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, age, martial status, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.

McNair has a net worth of $3.3. billion, and brought football's Texans to Houston after the Oilers left. His contribution to the Campaign comes as the National Football League has made strides to accept gay players.

Looks to be chicken feed compared to how much he's worth. Maybe he contributed to get them off his back?
