As always, Texas is fighting a losing battle with equality.
This leaves us with the real question here----
Why do conservatives oppose equality under law as the US Constitution requires unequivocally?

I’m confused I always thought that Texans were big, bold and unafraid of nothing!
I guess I was wrong with the unafraid part!
Two people in love want to get married and they pull up their collective panties, running helter-skelter across the state screaming, the gay’s are ruining marriage for us straight talking Texans!
One of Texas’s biggest problems is with that goofy looking cowboy hat they wear and it reminds me of a job about a Texas man and his cowboy hat!
Joe was a successful Texas lawyer, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his career and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across an old country doctor who solved the problem. “The good news is I can cure your headaches… the bad news is that it will require castration.” You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to draw up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles." Joe was shocked and depressed. He woundered if he had anything to live for. He couldn’t concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men’s clothing store and thought, “that’s what I need … a new suit.” He entered the shop and told the salesman, “I’d like a new suit.” The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, “Let’s see… size 48 long.” Joe laughed, “That’s right, how did you know?” “Been in business 60 years!” Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, “how about a new shirt?” Joe thought for a moment and then said “sure…” The salesman eyed Joe and said “let’s see…34 sleeves and…17 and a half neck.” Joe was suprised, “that’s right, how did you know?” “Been in the business 60 years” Joe tried one the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked “how about some new shoes?” Joe was on a roll and said “sure!” The salesman eyed Joe’s feet and said “Let’s see… 12-1/2…E.” Joe said astonished, “that’s right, how did you know?” “Been in business 60 years!” Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked “how about a new hat?” Joe thought for a second and said, “sure!” The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe’s head and said “Let’s see… size 8 1/4.” Joe laughed, “Ah ha! I got you, I’ve worn a size 7 1/2 since I was 18 years old.” "The salesman shook his head, “you can’t wear a size 7 1/2 hat, the downward pressure of your cowboy hat will draw up your testicles into a real tight ball and give you one hell of a headache.”

“Activist judges don’t change Texas law and we will continue to
aggressively defend the laws of our state,” Paxton said in a statement. No, they just change Federal law. Or at least try to.

Texas. Where we serve up a little dish of compassion occasionally, only if you are ready for a big dose of dickishness.
