Gays and lesbians asked for equality in marriage, and the lawmakers accidentally giveth, though not exactly in the way same-sex couples might have hoped. I can't wait to see the gays and lesbians of Texas demanding that this law be enforced.
BREAKING: Texas bans ALL marriage by Henry Parsons Thu Nov 10, 2005 at 02:21:41 PM PDTPosted by Maria at November 10, 2005 04:51 PM | TrackBackTexas inadvertently banned all marriage within its borders during a vote yesterday. The key parts to the bill are right here:
Sec. 32. (a) Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman.
(b) This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.
Approved by popular vote yesterday the state of Texas no longer allows marriage in order to protect the sanctity of marriage. They "may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage." Marriage, because it is identical to marriage, is not allowed anymore.
