Texas Banned Marriage
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!
Texas is so adorable XD.
What happened was that was back in 2005, the amendment that was made to Texas legislature aimed to ban gay marriages, accidentally banned all marriages instead.
The amendment was pretty much well-received by the good people of Texas, and consisted of the following:
marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman
Which was okay, you know, it’s simple and clear. But the problem lies in the next clause:
This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage
What it meant was actually that you can’t have any other legal status like domestic partnership, social union etc to signify marriage. But what they neglected was to say “except marriage”, because now they’ve banned marriage itself.
The Young Turks on youtube put it pretty well:
I don’t know if I’m for or against gay marriages. Until marriages to fictional characters are legal, I shall remain neutral.
End of Post.
