HOUSTON, Texas—Houston’s bathrooms, showers, and dressing facilities will now be open to all, regardless of gender, gender identity, gender expression, or other predilection of gender behavior. By an 11-6 vote of the Houston City Council, Mayor Annise Parker achieved this as the crowning jewel of her tenure as mayor.
Mayor Parker, Houston’s first openly gay mayor, said passing this ordinance was not the most important thing she has done in office, according to an article in the Fairfield Citizen, but it is the “most personally meaningful thing I will ever do as mayor.”
Houston Council Member, At Large Position 3, Michael Kubosh took exception to this. Kubosh told KPRC TV, "It's going to criminalize people that have been found in violation in the ordinance and the fine could be between $500 to $5,000."
In an interview with Breitbart Texas, Kubosh said, “The system is flawed and has little, if any, transparency. I did everything I could do to get the ordinance delayed or defeated, but the mayor controlled the whole process.” Kubosh said he voted against the ordinance along with District A Council Member Brenda Stardig, District D Council Member Dwight Boykins, District E Council Member Dave Martin, District G Council Member Oliver Pennington and At Large Position 5 Council Member Jack Christi.
Stephen Costello, the At Large Position 1 Council Member who supported Mayor Parker on the Proposition 1 “Rain Tax” ordinance, joined ten other council members in standing beside Mayor Parker.
The ordinance was strongly opposed by many black pastors, members of the Houston Area Pastors Council. 150 pastors from the conservative group representing a diverse coalition, ethnically and denominationally, angrily walked out of the council meeting today after two prominent African American pastors who represented the group were snubbed by the council body. According to a press release obtained by Breitbart Texas, Council Member Boykins asked to have two black pastors, Willie Davis and Max Miller, to be allowed to be moved up in the speakers list and speak out against the ordinance. It is a common practice by council members and one that is rarely opposed by other members.

This is the actual wording from the ordnance, I can find no place that says it was deleted.
[PENDING MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS TO DELETE SUBSECTION (B) BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY]
(b) It shall be unlawful for any place of public accommodation or any employee or agent thereof to intentionally deny any person entry to any restroom, shower room, or similar facility if that facility is consistent with and appropriate to that persons expression of gender identity. It shall be a defense to prosecution for discrimination on the basis of gender identity under this article, however, if the defendant had a good faith belief that the gender or gender identity of the person discriminated against was not consistent with the gender designation of the facility. For purposes of this section, a defendant has a good faith belief if the manner in which the person represented or expressed gender to others (e.g. behavior, clothing, hairstyles, activities, voice or mannerisms) is not consistent with the gender designation of the facility the person attempted to access. Nothing in this section shall require construction of a new bathroom, shower room, or similar facility.
If you have a link that says otherwise provide it.
this was from ONE of the links in the article from Brietbart for all you whiners...there's a video at this site if that helps

HOUSTON -
The emotional battle over the controversial Equal Rights Ordinance finally came to an end Wednesday night at Houston City Hall. City Council passed the ordinance in an 11-6 vote.
Wednesday's meeting began at 9 a.m. and continued until 8 p.m. as speakers were given a chance to add their voices to the debate before council voted.
According to the city secretary, the issue prompted 209 people to speak on the proposed ordinance -- the biggest turnout the public comments council has seen.
The ordinance bans discrimination in housing and employment, and would extend protections to Houston's gay and transgender community.
Also included among the 14 now-protected characteristics were race, ethnicity, age, religion and disability.
"This ordinance covers all of those categories," Mayor Annise Parker said moments after the vote. "It is a good step forward for the city of Houston."
While people spoke in front of city leaders, a group protested outside the building.
"I'm against it. I believe the word of God is specific about it," said William Sutherland.
Some City Council members said their offices have been bombarded with calls and emails from people who don't think the ordinance should pass.
Houston City Council Member Michael Kubosh said he doesn't like that violators would face stiff penalties.
"It's going to criminalize people that have been found in violation in the ordinance and the fine could be between $500-$5,000," said Kubosh.

The bathroom section is still in it.
Conservative church groups say the mayor and council members who support the ordinance are trying to trick people into believing the removal of the "bathroom clause" will make the policy more acceptable.

Fuck it. Why stop there? Just let everyone squat and shit in the street. Just let it rip anywhere, anytime.
