Houston Mayor Annise Parker Won’t Let a Little Thing Like Men Wearing Pumps to Work Get Them Fired

So much for not becoming a rabid homosexual activist mayor! Annise Parker, the lesbian mayor of Houston, has signed a “sweeping” protection ordinance protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender state employees “that is possibly the most comprehensive in the nation.”

State agencies may not take into account “appearance, dress, mannerisms, speech patterns, and other social interactions” when deciding who to “hire, recruit, appoint, promote or train any individual” or “to discipline, demote, transfer, lay off, fail to recall or terminate.”

C’mon, Pastor Joel Osteen, we’re waiting for your response — or has Parker won you over with her real estate dealings?
