I’ve been posting about that for years.
But look at the ruling and look at Abbot’s press release, then you should see there won’t be IN TEXAS any flower shops, bakeries, churches and so on that are shut down.
What I was saying was if Texas were to follow Alabama and get out of the business of issuing marriage licenses, then there would be nothing for the homosexuals to attack.
As for insurance and estate purposes, homosexual couples who claim they are ‘married’ won’t be able to show a state marriage license, they will have to use affidavits, tax returns etc.
If Texas can get itself away from state marriage licenses and protect churches and businesses, then they set an example for other states to follow.
38 states have either passed bans on same-sex marriage, voted down same-sex marriage proposals or amended their state constitutions to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
If Texas shows the way forward, then this SCOTUS ruling is a hollow victory. There will be nothing for homosexuals to attack save for workplace discrimination which is small and inconsequential.
Homosexual leaders are targeting churches and Christianity. They seek to ‘reform’ Christianity by forcing churches to acknowledge that homosexuality is normal, that’s it not a sin, Abbot appears to have shut down their opportunity in Texas to do that.
I expect homosexual law firms to drag Texas into court but they have to look at the words of the SCOTUS ruling which says to the effect that nothing in the ruling can be construed to change the doctrine of the Church.
So if traditional conservatives play it smart, this whole affair can be a big nothing although today’s ruling is emotional and a stain on our nation’s history.
I was one of the early ones to point out more than 5 years ago that the agenda of the homosexual movement was to topple the principles of the Church. And now it is obvious to everyone.
What I am saying now to people is don’t fall into despair, there are ways out of this darkness.
One way out that I am promoting heavily right now is on a current thread I posted yesterday here:

I predict the Article V movement which has been growing very quick will now grow even quicker as more and more people learn about.
5 people in black robes just overturned elections in 38 states That’s 76% of the states.
Traditional marriage got higher percentage votes than Obama ever got for the Presidency. So why is it, again, that SCOTUS could never take up the question of whether the Constitution allows Obama to act as President? Did somebody say something about courts not being able to overturn elections? As if the will of the people is sacred and the Constitution doesn’t allow elections to ever be reversed?
