Brief Explanation
HJR 6 would provide that marriage in Texas is solely the union of a man and woman, and that the state and its political subdivisions could not create or recognize any legal status identical to or similar to marriage, including such legal status relationships created outside of Texas.
Recognizes marriage. Prohibits the state and districts from establishing another construct identical or similar to marriage. Acknowledges marriage in our state.
This is a frivilous bit of judicial activism that will cost the taxpayers money.
Glad you found your summary guide from that session...I have mine locked away around here somewhere...
What needs to be cleared up, is that she IS a lesbian...She needs to be proud of that, and needs to be upfront with those who are wondering why she is making a stink of this, when it is clear what the voters in Texas saw in this amendment...
She would be better off to tell everyone what she is, and why she is doing this, and not be so ambiguous...
