After San Antonio officials balked at passing a citywide antidiscrimination ordinance, and City Council members were recorded describing gay people as "disgusting" sinners, an advocacy group issued a travel alert for LGBT visitors to the city.
San Antonio has continued to postpone a vote on an ordinance banning LGBT discrimination in public accommodation and employment. While some officials say a vote on the matter will happen September 3, local gay activists are skeptical thanks to secretly taped recordings of city officials lambasting their gay citizens. "Disgusting," is how Councilwoman Elisa Chan described gay people in a private meeting. She also says gays should not be allowed to adopt children. Another official is heard comparing same-sex relations to incest. Listen below.
The LGBT advocacy group GetEQUAL Texas wants to warn travelers that San Antonio, which bills itself as a travel destination, is not welcoming to LGBT visitors. Read their alert below:

To see it written text from bigots is one thing, but to have the audio? These fucking people are disgusting! They must be importing their water from Russia!

DO THESE PEOPLE EVER STOP TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING?
Darwin says mankind evolved from lower species. I think he has it wrong. We devolved from high species...or at least people like Ms. Chan.
