On
Wednesday, May 28, 2014, which was only a couple weeks back, the City Council
in my town passed something it called the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, or “H.E.R.O.” What
H.E.R.O. is supposed to do is to legally bar discrimination based on “race, color, national origin, marital
status, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity,
disability, [and] military service” in
employment, in public accommodations, and in housing.
I
know, right? Wow!
For
me, this was great news. It meant I could quit my jobs and fulfill
my lifelong dream of earning my money by suing Christian bakers who refused to
bake me gay wedding cakes.
