Legislative Blunder Annuls ALL Marriage

Have you heard the disturbing news about Proposition 2?

Any greedy insurance company, tricky divorce attorney or liberal activist judge could use this Constitutional Amendment to annul all marriage in Texas. Only your vote can fix it.

DON’T RISK IT - VOTE AGAINST IT!
READ IT FOR YOURSELF!

Proponents of Proposition 2 keep telling us it would protect traditional marriage by writing into the Texas Constitution a prohibition on marriage and civil unions for same-sex couples, but it actually does much more – if passed it annuls ALL marriage in Texas, even for heterosexuals.

That’s because the language that would be written directly into the Texas Constitution if this passes is flawed.

Don’t take our word for it, read the language for yourself:

Article I (The Bill of Rights), Texas Constitution, would be amended to read as follows:

Sec. 32. (a) MARRIAGE in this state shall consist ONLY OF THE UNION OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.

(b) THIS STATE or a political subdivision of this state MAY NOT create or RECOGNIZE ANY LEGAL STATUS IDENTICAL or similar TO MARRIAGE.

By leaving out key words, legislators are invalidating all marriage!

The language is clear:
(a) defines marriage between one man and one woman, and
(b) prohibits the recognition of (a)

Therefore prohibiting marriage between one man and one woman!

The funny thing... they're right!

No more marriage in Texas!

(A lot of men will be relieved about this.)


Yes, I know this is the wrong forum, but I thought I'd try to lighten things up a bit.

YEEHAAAA!! ROTFLMAO!! Looks like the gays will have the same protection under the law after all!!! LOL!!

I especially like it that they found a way to blame it on "liberal activist judge(s)."

As if we have any of those in Texas...

...the state where they said it's ok to sleep through your client's capital murder case.

LOL! That is hilarious, I know a few people in Texas who won't mind suddenly finding they are no longer married.

Funny but wrong

If you had posted or read the information about the explaination, you would have seen that the second part or (b) was an extension to be included with same sex marriages. So no, marriages between a man and woman will not be invalidated if the prop goes through on election day.

Funny thought though.......

The entire text of the amendment is:

Sec. 32. (a) Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman.
(b) This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.

We all know they meant to prohibit gay marriage. The problem is that isn't what they said.

What explanation or information are you talking about?
