Transgender people kept out of bathrooms
Voters in Houston, Texas struck down a city law on Nov. 3 that protected LGBT people and others from discrimination. The repeal effort was headed by conservatives who alleged that transgender women were not real women and were, in fact, straight men that were using the law in order to go into bathrooms and peek at girls. Apparently, voters agreed with them: The law was repealed by a vote of 61 percent to 39 percent, according to the Harris County Clerk's Office.
