A Texas pastor who warned a non-discrimination bill would expose children to “transgender predators” in public bathrooms has been fired from his civic job for preying on women. In April, Pastor Kendall Baker testified against Houston’s transgender-inclusive non-discrimination ordinance, claiming that providing trans people equal access to public accommodations would result in an increase in bathroom-related sexual harassment and assault. He was placed on indefinite suspension for sexually harassing female employees. An investigation found he solicited sexual acts, made crude comments about female anatomy and forced women to hug him, and he was fired as a city council employee.
