But that's deplorable of me to think that way.
:iagree:

If the City of Houston leased NRG stadium to a vendor who posted a sign saying "No Gays allowed", exactly how long do you think it would be before the city demanded the removal that sign?
That sign would make it a class B misdemeanor for a "person of gayness" to enter. Because of private property rights and Texas' longstanding respect and recognition thereof... Or something.... :smilelol5:

I was once sternly reminded the law doesn't make a distinction whether the government entity is the landlord or tenant. Apparently, I'm not the only one that sees the vagueness in the language of the law.

When a landlord leases a piece of real property to a tenant, he transfers certain rights to the tenant that gives the tenant the ability to control the property and it's use. Apparently, the AG's office seems to think one of the decisions a tenant has the right to make is whether or not to post 30.06 or 30.07 signs regardless who owns the property. I doubt it is limited to just non-profit tenants.
As we found out, they CAN post the signs. But if you manage to sneak past there's nothing you can be charged with.

ETA: Well...you could be charged with capital murder...but would it stick? With the death penalty on the table i'm not sure i'd want to be the test case. :biggrinjester:
