Start with what Romney SHOULD have done in Massachusetts: Texas no longer shall issue marriage licenses nor recognize any marriage, nor offer any direct benefits to those who are married, except those marriages already duly licensed and executed in the state of Texas as of yesterday.
Nope. Wrong.
Surrendering on the issue is not an option.
Texas must continue to recognize marriage between one man and one woman and that only these marriages will be sanctioned and licensed by the State.
