Do you want a Texas version of San Francisco? Neither do we!
Do you want Texas to be the abortion capital of America? Neither do we!
Houston has elected an openly homosexual mayor and built the largest abortion clinic in the United States and you can do something about it!
While you may or may not be a resident of Houston and eligible to vote for mayor, you can vote with your dollar.
This is why we are calling on Christians everywhere to boycott the city of Houston.
We want to impose “economic sanctions” on Houston, Texas!
Please make your voice heard and join our cause. By signing the online petition you send Houston a message; That you are tired of babies being
murdered and the radical homosexual agenda being shoved down the throat of normal society.
Texas is a Christian state! Help keep it that way!
Don’t mess with Texas or Texas children.

A Texas version of San Francisco? Let's see ... what's that saying? "Everything's bigger in Texas!"
And again with the "radical homosexual agenda" (what, voting?) being wait for it "shoved down the throat" of all guaranteed non-closeted Christians. These people are so transparent it's funny.
Yeah, you're right, y'all texan conservative nutjobs should boycott Houston so that the atheist socialist homosexual feminist deceitful liberal Satan-worshipping abortionist activists can claim the city as their unholy haven of debauchery for good.
[the radical homosexual agenda being shoved down the throat of normal society]
The citizens of Houston legally elected a mayor who just happens to be gay.
YOU are seeking to punish them for it.
Who, exactly, is being coercive here, David?
[Don’t mess with Texas or Texas children.]
The only person "messing with Texas" here is you. YOU are the one screaming for "economic sanctions". YOU are the one trying to short-circuit the democratic process.
If you hate America so much, David, why don't you just leave?
"Houston has elected an openly homosexual mayor and built the largest abortion clinic in the United States and you can do something about it!"
Well I was thinking I might visit this fair city and see what it was like sometime but...
"This is why we are calling on Christians everywhere to boycott the city of Houston."
...now that I know it's going to be completely fundie free for the foreseeable future, I may just move there.
Perhaps we should be encouraging this. Stoke up all the bible-thumpers to leave their jobs and houses in Houston, sell-up and go elsewhere in Texas, while simultaneously exhorting atheists to take up these vacated jobs and properties and make Houston the atheist capital of the US, square down in "lone star". Show the rest of Texas the metaphorical finger.
My but aren't you a drama queen. A democratically elected mayor of Houston happens to be gay and now the sky is falling?
By the way, you are aware that a big part of the Planned Parenthood mandate is to assist with birth control? Proper birth control removes the need for abortion but I suppose you're the type of fundie retards who considers birth control as tampering with god's will.
Speaking of god's will, he's being mighty quiet about the whole thing, isn't he? Almost like he doesn't really give a shit.
I love the irony in this.
Prop 8 passed and people who opposed it were told by its supporters, "the people have spoken, now just be quiet and accept it."
Houston legitimately elects a gay person as mayor, and the minority voters are up in arms and whining about the results, expecting everyone else to capitulate to them.
*rolls eyes, throws hands in the air and walks away*
Yeah, just don't hold your breath waiting for Houston to become empty and desolate.
I think it's funny how these Christians whine about being persecuted and then think they're in such a majority that they can threaten boycotts to get their way.
How much you want to bet that there are a lot of fundies in Houston who will still do business in Houston?
At the rate the fundies are making everything into a religion, I'm surprised you haven't yet found Abortionism, the religion of abortion.
Or maybe someone could post a link to someone who has?
Oh, and JohnTheAtheist wins the internets.
If this boycott was solely about abortion, I could kind of see where they're coming from, even if I don't agree with them, but the fact that they're targeting the mayor because he's gay proves that they're nothing more than bigoted morons.
Why do you hate democracy and, by extension, America?
The people of Houston decided on the person they thought was best for the job.
So, next time some nutzoid religiotard (like Bush) is elected, every sane person in America should move to Canada, thus withdrawing our resources, intelligence, money and talents from the United States. It would be an interesting experiment, if only to see how long the idiots left in the U.S. would last before invading Canada and/or starting a nuclear war because they're unable to unclog the bathroom sink.

"I think it's funny how these Christians whine about being persecuted and then think they're in such a majority that they can threaten boycotts to get their way."
Remember how the moral majority boycotted Disney over "gay days" and the theme parks totally went bankrupt?
Oh, fuck, wait ...
"By signing the online petition you send Houston a message"
Because we all know how devastatingly effective online petitions are.
If I was to boycott Texas for any reason, it would be because it put its faith in the Bushes.
As far as I know Texas is a part of the United States of the America, whose First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress or the preference of one religion over another, non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion.
If I know that, way east in a small, rather insignificant country touching the Northern Polar Circle, why don't you, Mr Grisham?
/Don’t mess with Texas or Texas children./
What about GAY Texan children? Funny how whenever you fundie freaks screech and wail about "protecting the children," the actual welfare of homosexual children, who are often dehumanized, beaten, and abandoned by you, is never considered.
"Do you want a Texas version of San Francisco? Neither do we!"
I don't want a "Texas version" of anything, to be honest. Why would I want other places to be like the loudest, angriest, fundie-est place in the country?
I've always thought the US would be a stronger, more prosperous nation if Texas and South Carolina had been forbidden from rejoining the Union after the Civil War, and Utah had never been allowed to join to begin with...
Wow, this will be about as successful as the Modern Warfare 2 boycott *rolls eyes*.
(For those not nerdy enough like me to know: A group of gamers wanted to boycott Infinity Ward's big blockbuster game Modern Warfare 2 because they changed several features that amounted to giving all non-console gamers the finger, on the day of the game's release 90% of the protest group had bought the game and was playing online.)
"Do you want a Texas version of San Francisco?"
Why not? Sounds good to me. But then, you already have men in stetsons, wearing chaps. "Brokeback Mountain". Just sayin'.
"Do you want Texas to be the abortion capital of America?"
Why not? You Texans bang on about 'Freedom' and 'Choice'. Well, that's what your country's all about: women with the freedom to choose whether or not to have that baby. Why, are you volunteering to look after all the unwanted babies in Texas, if not the whole of the US, nay, the entire world? If not, STFU. Oh, and I've got just Four Words for you, Dave:
Roe versus Wade, bitch.
Yes this guy, David Grisham, is brilliant. He wins people over with his elegant charm and sharp wit. He's also a GOD WARRIOR!!!!111
