This is NOT a posting FOR or AGAINST Houston's Prop 1 in the upcoming election. Yes, I do have my strong opinions (AGAINST), but that's not what this is about. But some background info is required for those not living in Houston:
(Begin Background Info)
Houston's Proposition 1 is on the ballot this November. There is a plethora of information about it online, so I'll let you do your own research. (both links below are from a "Pro" Prop 1 site - I wanted to make sure that although I don't agree with it, I'm not guilty of misrepresenting it in their own words)
- The "Pro" argument says that it will "prohibit discrimination on the basis of characteristics in City employment, City services, City contracting practices, housing, public accommodations and private employment."
- But the "Con" argument focuses on what characteristics are included, to include, Sex, Race, Color, Ethnicity, National origin, Age, Familial status, Marital status, Military status, Religion, Disability, Sexual Orientation, Genetic Information, Gender Identity, Pregnancy.

So...my wife showed me this posting from one of her facebook friends:
OK, so I don't buy into the suggestion...but the interesting thing was in the comments:Interesting fact: In 1990, the Arizona governor refused to recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a holiday, so the NFL moved the Super Bowl, which was going to be played in Phoenix, to Los Angeles instead.
If Houston wants to save the 2017 Super Bowl, and save the tens of millions of dollars of economic impact on Houston businesses that go along with it, then Houston needs to vote YES on City of Houston Proposition 1.
Save the Super Bowl - Vote Yes on Houston Prop 1!
Silly liberals: use the same argument for 'Gun Free Zones', and they cannot see the logic.I simply cannot process why people wouldn't vote yes. If a predator wants to follow a child they will, signage won't change that.
