Houston recently passed an ordinance through its city council that has sparked quite a bit of controversy among conservative evangelicals. The Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), a broad-sweeping, left-leaning law trumpeted by Houston and its openly gay mayor, Annise Parker, is supposed to protect gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination. All well and good, but according to the Independent Journal Review, the ordinance to ensure nondiscrimination discriminates against those of faith who oppose it.
Five pastors, members of Houston's conservative, evangelical base, oppose HERO, and the pastors aren't being too quiet about it. They're circulating petitions and gathering signatures in an attempt to get the law repealed.
Houston then issued subpoenas for the pastors to turn over All speeches, presentations, or sermons related to HERO, the Petition, Mayor Annise Parker, homosexuality, or gender identity prepared by, delivered by, revised by, or approved by you or in your possession, so that it could, according to Time.com, determine how the preachers instructed their congregants in their push to get the law repealed.
No one was surprised when the pastors filed suit.
The blowback to the subpoenas was so intense that last Friday, Houston backpedaled and dropped the word sermon from the subpoena, as well as ...requests for pastors' teachings on sexuality and gender identity. The city still wants to see all the speeches, presentations, documents, text messages and emails that relate to the pastors' work to get HERO repealed, though.
Greg Abbott, the Texas attorney general and a Republican candidate for governor, sent a letter to Mayor Parker's office requesting she immediately drop the subpoena requests. As reported on Christianitytoday.com, he wrote: Government officials must exercise the utmost care when our work touches on religious matters. Your aggressive and invasive subpoenas show no regard for the very serious First Amendment considerations at stake.
The subpoenas are censorship, pure and simple, and they blur the line of demarcation that is supposed to separate church from state.
After the outcry, Mayor Parker broke out the politician's primer and issued a well-crafted statement that said the subpoenas were overly broad and would be amended. News flash, Mayor Parker. It's still censorship. Tossing a few deck chairs off the Titanic didn't stop the ship from sinking and deleting a few words from an overly broad subpoena won't make it anything other than what it is religious intimidation.
Dr. Ed Young, pastor of the Second Baptist Church in Houston, jokingly tells me he is happy to send his sermons to the mayor and has done so voluntarily in the past as a form of what Baptists call witnessing to the Gospel of Christ. He says he did not receive a subpoena. The key word here is voluntarily.
For a government official to try to intimidate or censor speech from the pulpit, or any other form of communication, is clearly unconstitutional and this effort by Houston's mayor should not survive a single court challenge.

Newstalk has today announced a new deal to provide a news service to the UTV group of radio stations:
It will provide national and international news, business and sports service to Limerick 95FM, LMFM, Cork 96FM, C103FM, Q102 and FM104, it said today.
Newstalk, which is owned by Denis OBriens Communicorp, will now become the largest news supplier in Ireland, with a total audience of 1.7 million listeners daily.
Mr OBrien is Irelands largest owner of private media assets, being the biggest shareholder in the Independent News & Media group, and the owner of Communicorp, the radio business that includes Newstalk, 98FM and TodayFM.
Samus Dooley, Irish Secretary, of the NUJ said the union is gravely concerned with the development.
Newstalk already provides broadcast services to 25 independent local and regional radio stations across the country, with the new addition of the UTV group it will bring the total number to 31, which is the entire independent radio network.
Mr Dooley said the news that the Communcorp group will become the largest supplier of news to the independent radio network posed problems for media diversity in Ireland.
In terms of diversity of news, analysis and opinion we do not believe that the public interest will be best served by further extension of the influence of a dominant player in the Irish media market, Communicorp.
Last year, former Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte said the growing concentration of media ownership in fewer hands is not a desirable situation.
