The right of churches to freely speak the truth is under threat in Houston.  Five pastors and churches in the Texas city have had their internal church communications subpoenaed by Mayor Annise Parker. This action by the mayor was done in response to a lawsuit against the city for basically ignoring a petition by the people of Houston to vote on a "bathroom bill" that was forced upon Houston residents and businesses earlier this year.  None of the pastors or affected churches are even a party to the lawsuit.
