She added that if similar state legislation is passed in Texas, Austin&rsquo;s own ordinances protecting its LGBT community would be affected, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mystatesman.com\/news\/news\/local\/austin-city-council-to-consider-requiring-gender-n\/ng96f\/\" target=\"_blank\">the gender-neutral bathroom ordinance<\/a>that went into effect in January 2015.<\/p>\n<div>Last month, I asked Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings whether the city would consider a similar ban.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&ldquo;I am saddened when lawmakers in other states decide to do things that I believe to be discriminatory and contrary to my point of view,&rdquo; Rawlings told me for a story in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasobserver.org\/texas-backlash-north-carolina-anti-lgbt-law\/\"><em>The Texas Observer<\/em><\/a>. &ldquo;I also wouldn&rsquo;t want to unfairly punish the good mayors in states like North Carolina who are fighting for LGBT rights.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Because both Austin and Dallas have weak-mayor forms of government, the bans require action by the full City Council. This&nbsp;would not be the case in&nbsp;Houston, which has a strong-mayor form of government, and where voters recently repealed an Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO). I&rsquo;ve reached out to&nbsp;Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner&rsquo;s office about a possible boycott of North Carolina and Mississippi &mdash; which would be significant in light of the defeat of HERO &mdash; but officials haven&rsquo;t responded.<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2016\/05\/austin-north-carolina\/\">Austin May Become 1st Texas City to Boycott North Carolina, Mississippi Over Anti-LGBT Laws<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/\">Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=cnde9Lgi8nc:tt-EphmxZQU:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=cnde9Lgi8nc:tt-EphmxZQU:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=cnde9Lgi8nc:tt-EphmxZQU:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=cnde9Lgi8nc:tt-EphmxZQU:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?i=cnde9Lgi8nc:tt-EphmxZQU:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=cnde9Lgi8nc:tt-EphmxZQU:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=cnde9Lgi8nc:tt-EphmxZQU:YwkR-u9nhCs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=YwkR-u9nhCs\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~4\/cnde9Lgi8nc\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~3\/cnde9Lgi8nc\/\" class=\"autohyperlink\">feeds.towleroad.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~3\/cnde9Lgi8nc\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin May Become 1st Texas City to Boycott North Carolina, Mississippi Over Anti-LGBT Laws Austin may&nbsp;become the first municipality&nbsp;in Texas to join dozens of cities and states across the country that&nbsp;have banned taxpayer-funded travel by public employees to Mississippi and North Carolina.
