Texas government wrong to deny gay rights

Bandera Bulletin: "Supporting gay rights in Texas is not about being a Democrat or a Republican; it's about standing up for human dignity. Regardless of one's political, religious and even sexual orientation, Texas voters need to look beyond prejudice and fear and vote against banning same-sex marriage.

Texas stands out for its meddlesome government. The Texas House recently tried to ban loving gay couples from adopting. Many in our legislature want to ban gay couples from any sort of civil union or legal protections for their relationship. Worst, the Texas government made criminals of consenting adults for what they did in the privacy of their homes. The Supreme Court finally struck down this unconstitutional law in Lawrence v. Texas. Is this the traditional Texas Republicans' idea of small government?"
