Heh, I’ve been wanting to use that title ever since Dr. Steven Hotze and the Conservative Republicans of Texas started using it. In case you don’t know, Dr. Hotze and team are trying to force the Texas House to have a vote on SB6, the bill that would keep men from entering the public restrooms, locker rooms and showers that women and children use. Thus far, they’ve had little success and it looks like the guys and gals that want to pee with the LGBT are going to take home the victory.
But Dr. Hotze, et al. are nothing if not persistent. So today he sent out a list of the Texas House Republicans that have vowed to support a vote on SB6 and those that haven’t. Here is the list of those that, at least publicly, refuse to support a vote on the bill.

No one on that list surprises me except maybe Tom Craddick.
I am a bit surprised by the way that TexasGOPVote.com is fighting against this bill. This is the website that supports Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Ted Poe among others, including the above mentioned Texas State Rep. Jason Villalba. I get that they’ve never been ‘conservative’ on the whole and I should have known something had changed when they attacked an attempt to rein in public unions, but it still surprises me. Of course, they’ve been for open borders and against any form of border control since their inception.
Check out the list of posts on their website about SB6 in the last three weeks:
- Villalba: Respectfully, Dan Patrick is Just Wrong on Bathrooms (yes, that is Rep. Jason Villalba)
- Texas Conservative Christian Mother Speaks Out Against SB6 “Bathroom Bill”
- Countering Lt. Gov. Patrick, the Texas House Rolls Out Its Version of Privacy Bill
- Perryman: The Economic and Fiscal Price of Restricting Bathroom Access (hard to believe anyone still gives Perryman credibility on economic issues)
- Bathroom Bill Debate (a page to make certain you know that they want to pee with the LGBT)
- Hotze’s Bathroom Bill Campaign Just Latest Episode in Long-Running Anti-Gay Crusade (FWIW, I ain’t anti-gay, just anti-stupid – passing laws that allow men to head into women’s and children’s locker rooms and showers is stupid)
- Rev. Kim Rogers speaks at Texas Capitol in opposition to SB 6 and HB 2899
- Conservative Woman Business Leader Speaks Against Bathroom Bill
- Texas Conservative Speaks Against Bathroom Bill
And that’s just in the past three weeks. I’m guessing they will have daily posts from ‘conservatives’ from now until the bill dies from a lack of vote. If you ask me, you don’t have to be conservative or liberal to be against allowing perverts to lawfully enter women’s and children’s locker rooms and showers but what do I know?
