Illegally Married. - Shippo the Fox - 2009-11-21
From another forum I post on:
robbybevard Wrote:First off, I should explain, despite my "antarctic" location thing on the left, I live in Texas. With that setup out of the way...
Five years ago, there was vote in Texas over a variety of things. Among them, was what basically ammounted to an anti-gay amendment. But the wording left a loophole which I saw it immediatley at the time, and apparently the goverment has taken 5 years to catch up and realize... the wording actually bans ALL marriage in Texas.
"Art. 1 Sec. 32. MARRIAGE. (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."
Marriage tends to be a legal status identical to marriage.
The best part is, I *did* vote against it back in the day, and as I had an interest in the result, I noticed that loophole immediatley. Like, the very next day. Its taken them 5 years to realize it, and now its a big thing, the politicians are all "Oh uhm... crap."
So... anyone married within the last 5 years in Texas... isn't, and until its ammended, no marriages will count. They'll probably just pass a bill that umbrellas all marriages within the period and then ammends the wording. But, the thing I noticed years ago, and JOKED about... is actually fact.
It is currently impossible to legally get married in Texas.
So... any of you ladies out there want to get hitched?

Please for the love of God tell me there is someone here from Texas to confirm this.

This is political glib bull$hit common on both sides of the aisle. The purpose of this law is crystal clear so its opponents latch on to a typo. This sort of garbage is very common of Fox News, by the way, so good job on loving it when it's YOUR guys doing it.

So quick to throw blame, tsk tsk tsk. You're no better than those people on either side.
And yes I found that law funny xD "This state may not create any legal status identical to marriage" lmao!

Many people that elected those who passed this bill cannot read, so I don't think this will be much of a problem.
