Texas Gay Marriage Ban May Have Made All Marriage Illegal

What a froggin' bunch of TexASSES!

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.

That's what the intent was but it says ANY legal status. It doesn't matter what the intent was all that matters is what actually became law.
