As Houston Equal Rights Ordinance Heads to November Ballot, Opponents Compare LGBT Texans to Nazis

[TexasTowelie]

In May of 2014, Houston City Council passed the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, or HERO. A recent ruling from the Texas Supreme Court forced the councilmembers to either repeal the measure or put it before the voters on the November ballot. In a recent City Council meeting, they voted overwhelmingly to leave the decision to the voters in November.

Since that decision, supporters of HERO have hit the ground running to educate voters about the importance of the measure. But they aren’t the only ones who have been busy.

Last Sunday, on August 13th, the conservative organization Texas Values hosted an Anti-HERO rally. The Human Rights Campaign reported that flyers advertising the event read:

“Christians, it’s time to stand up and fight to take back our government from the godless Secular Humanists, Pro-Abortionists and Political Homosexual Movement.”

This is nothing new for Texas Values. They were vocal proponents of the anti-LGBT bills that were filed at the Texas Legislature this past session.
