A group of Houston area pastors has called on Mayor Annise Parker to rescind an executive order she signed last week banning discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. The order allows trans men and women to use the restroom of the gender they identify with, a move the pastors say is "offensive to every standard of decency."
Parker's order only applies to city employees. Watch an NBC video report of the story here.
