State Sen. Don Huffines takes to Twitter to attack Dallas’ transgender protections

Since the Dallas City Council voted to amend the ordinance, state Sen. Don Huffines, a first-term Republican, has been tweeting that it was a “Obama & Pelosi style sneak-attack governance” that needs to be repealed. Among his tweets:

@DonHuffines

Repeal Dallas’ new LGBT ordinance immediately. It was not reviewed or thoughtfully considered by the public.

@DonHuffines

Houston voters soundly said NO to men in women’s bathrooms. Dallas’ new sneak-attack LGBT ordinance must be repealed & carefully reviewed.

Dallas City Council member Philip Kingston is not impressed:

Philip Kingston @PhilipTKingston

Went through a year of public discussion and makes no change to the existing public policy of Dallas. Stop lying https://twitter.com/DonHuffines/status/664155019235561472

Unfortunately he replaced John Corona (one of the more decent republicans), sigh.

I was really proud of the Dallas City Council for doing this.
