Texas lawmakers to consider unprecedented anti-gay marriage bill

By Emma Margolin

In a little over a month, the nation’s highest court is expected to answer two burning questions – whether the U.S. Constitution requires states to license same-sex marriages, and whether it requires states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other places. But in Texas, lawmakers are working on their own answers to each: No and no, thank you very much.

On Tuesday, the Republican-dominated Texas House of Representatives is scheduled to consider HB 4105, otherwise known as the Preservation of Sovereignty and Marriage Act. If enacted, the legislation would prohibit state or local government employees from recognizing, granting, or enforcing same-sex marriages. It would also prohibit state or local funds from being spent on “an activity that includes the licensing or support of a same-sex marriage.”

2. These, are people that have to have something to hate. If not gays, then someone else.

They are despicable beings that belong no place near any level of authority. They are what brings evilness into the world.

3. They are wasting their time.

Once President Obama's Federal Government captures Texas and declares marshal law, the legislature will obviously be dissolved.
