Texas celebrates ban on gay marriage with a cake
Or "how to be as big an asshole as possible to other human beings"
[quote]
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick led the celebration as Texas lawmakers rallied against equality:
"We need you as an army behind us to stand for life, to stand for marriage, to stand just for the constitution and to stand for what the people have decided to do, it's not that complicated," said Patrick.
The rally was in support of Texas House Bill 623, which would prohibit state employees from receiving salary, pension, other other employment benefits if they issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
They were also celebrating an important moment in Texas history:
The nine grassroots groups who organized the rally brought wedding cake, a symbol of the 10-year ban on gay marriage in Texas, passed in 2005. The director of Equality Texas said the political landscape has changed dramatically since then.
As Christopher Hooks at the Texas Observer notes, they just can't let it go:
In some ways, it was still 2005 in the room. The Texas Eagle Forum’s Cathie Adams introduced state Rep. Cecil Bell (R-Magnolia), who opened with a joke. “I always take a picture of the audience,” he told the crowd, pulling out his phone, to prove to his wife that he is where he said he would be. After all, “it’s until death do us part, and it’s me she was talking about killing.” Traditional marriage, you see, is the bond between a man and his nagging wife.
The event was organized by Jonathan Saez, the president of the anti-gay group Texas Values. You may remember Saez—he was most recently in the news when his wife filed for divorce and left him for a woman.

Edited by Raw Sugar: 2/27/2015 8:01:56 PMDisgusting. Why do people insist on marriage being this way when marriage predates western culture and even includes polygamy in other cultures. Shit, it's like certain people came together and took out everything that makes them uncomfortable. It's not up to the state or province or country, whether two individuals want to marry or not.

Cool.

The government shouldn't even have the right to tell you who to marry, as long as you're human and above 18
