Houston City Council Member Brought to Tears

HOUSTON - A Houston city council member was brought to tears after being accused of hating gays.

Wanda Adams says she felt attacked by some members of the gay community.

Last month, Adams did not cast a vote to fund a controversial AIDS housing facility.

The head of the Houston Gay Lesbian Bi and Transgender Organization, Kris Banks, worked for Adams in the past.

Banks says he felt Adams should have stayed in her seat and voted for the measure.

Adams says how could she be expected to vote for the facility when she received notes and emails asking her not to.

The council member says employees claimed they weren't being paid and few, if any, AIDS patients were allowed to live at Marjo House.

Mayor Annise Parker says an investigation revealed those allegations to be false.
