Rep Power: 181 | | | Texas Gay Marriage Ban May Have Made All Marriage Illegal
I have no idea if this is true or not but thought it interesting nonetheless. Texas' gay marriage ban may have banned all marriages | McClatchy

You know what they say about Texas, it's a wonderful place except for all those Texans.

Rep Power: 88 | | | Wow, a rare time in which Texas got it right, since gays are discriminated against in marriage they realize it is only fair and just to add heterosexuals. |

Rep Power: 14 | | This screw up could make a lot of hetrosexual husbands OR wives very happy in Texas, knowing they may not be legally married.
I wonder how many of this type of 'screw up' is in the Health Care Bill?  |

Rep Power: 30 | | | This is the part in question: "This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage."
Intelligent voters understand that to mean, no marriage-like status or marriage for those outside the one male/female arrangement. Parsing incorrectly seems to be the stock and trade of liberals lately.

Rep Power: 77 | | | Gotta love it............the very thing they were trying to prevent in order to protect their concept of marriage is the very thing that will destroy it........BY THEIR OWN HAND!
Gotta love the irony.

Rep Power: 4 | | | Marriage, it should read Texan's voted not to change the definition of marriage.
Not even all gays think society should change the defintion of the word marriage.
So there should be no rules at all in society, man should be able to do whatever he wants, no restrictions, men and women should be able to marry children, dogs, horses, they should be able to marry a refridgerator if they want. I would draw the line at microwaves though.
If mankind has proven anything throughout histrory is that humans should be allowed complete sexual freedom to do whatever they want, its our right. |
