Originally posted by phank View PostAs the conservative opponents are well aware (and make this abundently clear), the question isn't whether the ordinance is legal, but rather whether it is popular.
After all, the ordinance applies at the very most to a small handful of people, who already have enough problems.
Since it applies to all bathrooms, it applies to quite a few people.
The change from a bench trial to a jury trial effectively causes the ordinance to hinge on the jury selection process, rather than anything particularly legal. And any competent lawyer can find a dozen pro-discrimination conservatives in Houston.

After which the ordinance will be tossed out, and this small handful of unfortunate people won't be any worse off than ever. And few people in Houston will ever meet anyone who has ever met anyone who knows anyone who knows any of the people the ordinance applied to anyway. This whole kerfuffle has nothing to do with them.

I always write or say day, month, and full year. Month as in January, February, etc.
But... OFF TOPIC!

Originally posted by Darth Executor View Postday/month/year makes more sense than month/day/year. The first is in order of unit length, wheresa the latter is pure yank chaos.
