Texas Republicans recently unveiled a policy platform that includes a statement of support for legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to same-sex couples as well as for an official to perform a marriage ceremony for gay partners wishing to wed.
The 25-page proposal debuted last week as a guiding light for the state GOP over the next two years defines its position by saying:
Marriage Licenses - We support legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple and for any civil official to perform a marriage ceremony for such.
•"We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases."
•"Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have beenordained by God, recognized by our country's founders, and shared by the majority of Texans."
•"Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable "alternative" lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should "family" be redefined to include homosexual "couples."
Oh the rhetoric that every person should be able to ruin their lives with marriages? This isn't backlash at all.
As Robin Williams so elequantly put it
"Same Sex Marriage? That's kinda redundant, anyone who's been married for a long time already knows it's always the same sex"
Robin Williams live on Broadway is one of my favorite of his stand-ups.

Yeah, that's why the divorce rate is 50% for STRAIGHT couples :roll:
Everyone knows straight couples only get divorced because of the stress that gay couples place on society. :roll:
That or because a gay person convinces the husband/wife that they are truly gay and forces them to get a divorce in order to go run away together.

That's why the AIDS rate is 50% for MSM couples. :roll:

That doesn't speak to his comment.
You mean it doesn't speak to his tired, hackneyed straw man argument.

Ban strip clubs in Texas? yea right...........
How is it straw-man? Are you suggesting gays are the cause of the 50% Divorce rate, I'd love to see any evidence you may have?
Because if you think you can tear down traditional marriage and repace it with gay marriage, you are wrong.
