Today, the Houston City Council reiterated its support of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) by rejecting an attempt to repeal the law and instead voting to send it to the ballot on November 3rd.
(HERO) is an ordinance passed overwhelmingly by the City Council in 2014 that protects people in Houston from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, military service, sex, race, ethnicity, age, marital status, disability, and other categories.

The City Council’s vote today comes after the Texas Supreme Court issued a blow to the ordinance on July 24th, ruling that the Council must either repeal HERO in its entirety or put it on the ballot for a vote in November 2014.
We joined with our coalition partners— American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, Equality Texas, Texas Freedom Network, and the Human Rights Campaign—in a joint release thanking members of the City Council for, once again, standing up for the core Houston values of freedom and fairness for all
