"One of the leaders of the campaign to repeal the LGBT-inclusive Houston Equal Rights Ordinance now wants the Texas Republican Party to move its convention from Dallas, which has enacted a similar law.

The Dallas City Council this week clarified the city's nondiscrimination ordinance by explicitly banning discrimination based on gender identity. Dallas's long-standing ban on sexual orientation discrimination had been interpreted to cover gender identity, but activists pointed out the difference between the two characteristics and worked with the city to update the law."

I think pretty soon the violence they incite will come to them.

It's really rich that this guy is also defending a man being sued for photographing women changing during a pool party in a private bathroom.
