Doesn't surprise me. Texans don't give a shit about human rights.
A surprising number of us do ... but we live in a state where the Legislature convenes special sessions to nullify voter propositions and ban city ordinances that don't toe the party line. It's a bizarre place to live, and I can't wait to GTFO to just about anywhere else.
