This week, the Dallas City Council fast tracked and approved an aggressive and dangerous bathroom ordinance that allows men into women’s bathrooms and tramples religious freedom. In a surprise move that involved the Council approving controversial language in a closed door meeting late Monday night, without public input, the Council voted unanimously to pass the new sweeping language Tuesday morning. The language is similar to the “gender identity, “sexual orientation,” and “public accommodations” language contained in the Houston Bathroom Ordinance that was emphatically defeated by Houston voters, 61%-39%, just last week.
Make no mistake, LGBT advocates want to spread these dangerous laws to every city in Texas. The voters in Houston made a strong statement but now Dallas (and all of Texas) must send the message that we will not allow common sense, safety, and religious freedom to be destroyed by political correctness.

City of Dallas Extends Civil Rights Protection to Transgender People
Published on Nov 10, 2015
The Dallas City Council unanimously approved an amendment to its anti-discrimination ordinance on Tuesday to include protections for transgender people. Transgender people will be protected against being denied employment, housing or access to public spaces based on gender identity. The ordinance had previously included lesbian, gay and bisexual people. Just a week ago, voters in the city of Houston, Texas, rejected the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance by a wide margin, a measure that was aimed at increasing civil rights protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
