The verdict on whether anti-gay activist Dave Wilson collected enough valid signatures to force a vote to amend the city charter and bar men "who perceive or express themselves as women" from entering women's restrooms will have to wait. On Friday evening, the city appealed District Court Judge Brent Gamble's order to count the signatures on Wilson's petition by Saturday's deadline, saying it "is an untimely referendum petition, not a charter amendment." Wilson, a Houston Community College trustee, said he collected more than 22,000 signatures, more than the needed 20,000 to change city charter. The secretary's office was counting signatures under order from a state district judge since late July.
