The first step towards marriage equality just happened for Texans. Now the ruling has to be challenged in a higher court.

Here I was thinking we were going to be one of the last.

Nah, I knew that, as always, Mississippi and Alabama would be there to make us look reasonable.

Good.

This was basically my thought as well. Texas may be bad about these things but not as bad as ol' Miss.

I hate agreeing with and liking Charles posts

I feel like this sentence needs an asterisk and about 3 paragraphs of tiny legal disclaimers.

(yeah, yeah, I know... darwin'd)

this is a good thing, and I guess my only attempt to Charlie this thread will be that "gay marriage" isn't some cure-all for the rights of LBQTA people, they can still be fired in Texas for who they love and who they are, as well as kicked out of any apartment complex.

Someone has to.

I live in Texas, so I guess I should be defending it, but this wasn't a TEXAS Court, just a FEDERAL court that happened to be located in Texas. Nobody Texas had any say in electing contributed to the ruling.
