BOOM! Houstons Equal Rights Ordinance passed! Protections for all Houstonians, including the LGBT ones! Todays session at City Hall was deeply humbling and affirming - such a swell of support for queer and trans* people at an institutional level. The red shirts in the audience outnumbered the opposition by 5:1! Thank you to all the fabulous folks who allowed themselves to be seen and heard these last few weeks - so many kind hearts have opened because of your courage, faith, and generous spirit. And thanks to all the folks working tirelessly behind the scenes to educate the community and City Council, to clarify some of the language of the ordinance, and to lead with commitment and love instead of fear. Debbie Kelly, Alister Blücker, Mark Eggleston, Lynette Ross, Lou Weaver, Christina Gorczynski, Januari Leo, Daniel Williams, Brad Pritchett, Monica Roberts, Dee Dee Watters, Amelia Miller, Lura N. Groen, Bridgett Vinson, Hazard Buck-Jacobs, Robin Mack, Jolanda Jo Jones, Monica Cortez, Melanie Espinosa Pang, Colt Keo-Meier, Becca Keo-Meier, Tierra Ortiz-Rodriguez, Mike Ator, Lorraine Schroeder, and all the other City Hall badasses these last few weeks. Feeling proud.
