Gov. Perry signed an ammendment proposal this week which would make same sex marriages unconstitutional in Texas. A reporter asked him how he would tell gay veterans returning from Iraq that they cannot get married. His answer was that "Texas" had made a decision and that if there was another state that was more lenient then maybe it would be a better place for them to live.
Hmmm.
First of all, same sex marriage is already against the law in Texas so nothing has changed since these gay veterans were deployed to Iraq.
Second, what Perry signed was a proposed ammendment to the TX Constitution. We get to decide (vote) on it later (November?). So the only decision which has been made regarding this ammendment was the wording and to put it to the voters. Though I'm sure it will pass by a wide margin when the time comes.
Lastly, the reporter worked for the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I hadn't realized that Fort Worth was such a hotbed of gay activism.
Too bad we couldn't get that law against suggestive cheerleader routines passed, too. After all, everybody knows that all male cheerleaders are gay and having them bumping and grinding in front of the band is nothing more than recruiting! Half of them have probably already earned at least one toaster.

okay, I'll bite. what the heck is an "ammendment" ?
-GeBo, never won a spelling bee ever, unless it was before the 5th grade because most of my years in elementary school were a blur anyway and did you notice yet that my signature is longer than my quip?
An "ammendment" is the proper spelling of "amendment", which Bible Thumpers tend to pronounce "AMEN-dment", as if they were somehow handed down from God.
This "ammended" spelling corrects the misconception created by the prior, errant, spelling.
