HERO would have established nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people in the city, including the protection of trans community to use the bathroom appropriate to their gender identity. The law was voted down on Nov. 3, with 61% of voters opting to scrap the ordinance.

'SNL's' hilarious youngster, Pete Davidson, took on the Weekend Update to show the public just how ridiculous he thinks their fears are.
