- What is so hard is that I am trying to get someone to tell me about
- this law in Austin, Texas that makes it illegal to discriminate against
- Gays. I was asking for verification.....
-
- And part two is that the Dallas Police department asks if a person is
- gay/lesbian, not if they have gay sex......It is assumed that one does
- if one is gay/lesbian...that is why aI am really curious how one city
- can use the state law against gays and another just flips its nose at
- the sodomy law.
-
- Would some one from Austin please tell me when this law went into effect.
- It it is true I am very pleased in deed!!!!
