Well the anti-gay marraige amendment known as proposition two passed by a landslide 75%. I pointed out to my parents and to my conservative friends that there is already a defense of marraige act and my mother replied that they needed an amendment to make sure gay marraige was not honored in this state, because if that happened before you'd know it people would want to marry their dogs. My devious side got an idea from Boston Legal last night, I wondered if beastiality was banned in Texas, and strangely enough it isn't. So lets get this straight until 2003 in this great state homosexual sodomy was illegal, however, heterosexual sodomy wasn't. In 2003 the Supreme court struck down the Texas sodomy law, but I find it interesting that in this state where we put our foot down on stopping 'deviant sexual practices', bestiality is not illegal. Heaven forbid that we might someday have to honor a civil union or a domestic partnership. So in reply to those who say that this law upholds morals I say "So bestiality isn't immoral". I for one believe that the GLBT community deserves some sort of marraige equivalent and was outraged at the cheering writers of this amendment who declared this a victory of morals. In a promising note however, at UT in Austin the student vote was 4 to 1 against this amendment; republican backers of prop 2 explained this as typical rebelliousness of the youth. In other news, the strong mayor proposition for Dallas died again while the downtown homeless shelter passed. Feel free to flame me for this post, everyone has the right to their own opinion and I have the right to delete posts as I see fit (I rarely do that) and disagree whenever I feel like it.
