If you thought Saturday Night Live wasn't paying attention to Houston's defeat of the proposed anti-discrimination ordinance called HERO, you'd be wrong.

During last night's "Weekend Update" segment, anchor Colin Jost reported on the many Houstonians who were fleeced into thinking HERO -- which would have protected 15 classes of minorities, including sexual orientation and gender identity -- was all about male sexual predators sneaking into women's restrooms.

Jost introduced commentator Pete Davidson, who eviscerated that oft-heard and malicious argument.

"The theory is that men, in their relentless quest to watch women go to the bathroom, are going through years of hormones, surgery, changing their name, their wardrobe, coming out to their family, all for that big payoff of peeing in a room without urinals," Davidson says.
