Protest #2 Scheduled!
Manuel Rodriguez, we don’t forget and we aren’t going anywhere!
JOIN US in protest of HISD School Board Trustee Manuel Rodriguez, who according to the Houston Chronicle, displayed "appalling homophobia" over the weekend. The HISD School Board is the LAST place that we want this kind of homophobia to be in power.
What: HISD School Board meeting
When: Thursday, December 8; outdoor protest beginning at 4:30pm, public hearing at 6:30pm
Where: The Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center, 4400 West 18th Street, in the board auditorium.
We have several signed up to speak, but also want as many as possible there to stand with us in solidarity against bigotry on the HISD School Board!

About HISDbully.org
Just days before the November 8th election, sitting HISD Trustee Manuel Rodriguez highlighted his opponents support of LGBT rights and the fact that his opponent was openly gay as reasons for the voters of District III NOT to vote for him.
Additionally, Rodriguez conducted a television interview with a Spanish-language news channel where he posed the open-ended question of why a 50-something year old gay man would want access to our children.
The obvious gay-baiting and veiled homophobia fly in the face of a recently adopted nondiscrimination policy adopted by the Houston Independent School District which protects both students and facility from harassment on grounds which include sexual orientation and gender identity.
