Dear ACPA Community,

HEROs Take a Hit in Houston

REVISED:  6 November 2015

It is never too late to give up our prejudices. -- Henry David Thoreau

On November 3, 2015, 66 percent of the voters in Houston, Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States, defeated HERO, the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance. The socially conservative voters who showed up to say no to equal rights are calling their win a hit out of the park, but after further review, we can anticipate it will be memorialized as a long and disappointing foul.
