The Houston Area Pastor Council is calling on out lesbian Mayor Annise Parker to rescind an executive order she signed recently that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. The HAPC alleges that the order opens women's restrooms to men, according to the right-wing Christian Post:
"Forcing women in particular using city facilities to be subjected to cross-dressing men invading their privacy is beyond the pale and offensive to every standard of decency," said Pastor Steve Riggle, senior pastor of Grace Community Church and an Executive Committee member of the Houston Area Pastor Council (HAPC).
