As a resident of Amarillo I can assure you that this guy is not well-thought of up here, at least by everyone I know. He tries to get businesses shut down by basically harassing customers until they stop coming.

This guy is full of crap. As a resident of Providence, Rhode Island which elected an openly gay person as mayor several years ago, I can assure that there is no radical gay agenda being worked here. The mayor is working for all the people of this city and was overwhelmingly re-elected. And in a city that is overwhelmingly Catholic.

Isn’t this boycott, like, HARASSMENT of an entire city?

Isn’t this like, de facto threatening the livelihoods of Houstonians because nobody will want to spend money there?

Aren’t boycotts tantamount to activist terrorism and militants out to damage Houston?

See, when STRAIGHT folks do it, it’s a legal and important right to boycott something.

But when GAY folks do it, it’s considered criminal, vicious and anti Democratic and fascist.

And then there’s that pesky little saying we’re always hearing…”you don’t have a right to not be offended.”

And as for this bozo.

There’s a BIG chasm of difference between being offended, and being attacked, assaulted and denied legal and civil rights.

The man’s providing a public service! I’m sure Mayor Parker would have no problem with his followers steering clear of her town, and most likely the majority of Houston residents would happily live without them, too.
