Ken Paxton’s Still Trying to Unmarry Austin Lesbian Couple
Despite the Supreme Court’s June ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is still trying to undo a lesbian couple’s February marriage.
Austinites Suzanne Bryant and Sarah Goodfriend, who’ve been together for more than 30 years, obtained a marriage license February 19 from the Travis County Clerk’s Office.
