ROCKWALL, Texas (AP) - A Dallas suburb has rejected its mayor's proposal targeting transgender people from using the public bathrooms of their choice.

Rockwall's city council on Monday night voted down an ordinance that would require all people to use restrooms based on the gender listed on their birth certificate. The proposal resembles a law approved earlier this year in North Carolina.

I know of at least one trans-woman I know who went there to speak against the proposed ordinance. Looks like common sense and logic prevailed. Kudos Paula and the rest who showed up!

I never imagined I would post celebrating the good sense of the city council of a place called Rockwall TX.  But they really earned it!

from the item:

"The bill ultimately was rejected after Pruitt's request for a vote failed to receive a second."

In terms of parliamentary procedure, you can't get any more isolated than that!  The proposal was not just voted down, but "died without a second."  Couldn't even get voted on.  I love it!
