This week’s interviews are going to be about the referendum for the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, which the Supreme Court ordered to be on the ballot. It is City of Houston Proposition 1, with a Yes vote being in favor of keeping the ordinance, which as a reminder prohibits discrimination in city employment and city services, city contracts, public accommodations, private employment, and housing based on an individual’s sex, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, familial status, marital status, military status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, gender identity, or pregnancy. Houston Unites is the primary campaign for Proposition 1, so it only made sense for me to speak with the campaign manager for Houston Unites, Richard Carlbom, whose name I unfortunately mangled in the opening of the interview; I had originally read the “m” at the end of his surname as “rn”. I can’t even blame my glasses for that, as I have a new pair with a tighter prescription. Anyway, here’s the interview:
