Voting day. Vote and vote against Prop 2.

Prop 2.

HJR 6 would provide that marriage in Texas is solely the union of a man and woman, and that the state and its political subdivisions could not create or recognize any legal status identical to or similar to marriage, including such legal status relationships created outside of Texas.

Do not be a bigot and try to legislate your feelings. This violates the US Constitution and is plain bigoted and stupid. There is already a law against same-sex marriage here. This wants to take it further and deny any kind of legal status to non male-female unions. It can even be construed to take away any legal status to anyone for any agreements or legal status other than male-female MARRIAGE. It also wants to take away the power of other states to decide for themselves. Just plain stupid - and you are an idiot if you vote for it.
It is a bigot law based on religion and hatred of homosexuals. It is a blatant attempt by those type to legislate their religious beliefs and IT IS WRONG! One group's religion has no business being legislated for the masses. That is a fundamental concept of the United States.

Texas Voters Approve Ban on Gay Marriage Nov 08 9:02 PM US/Eastern

By DAVID CRARY

Texas voters Tuesday overwhelming approved a constitutional
ban on same-sex marriage, making their state the 19th to take that step. In
Maine, however, a proposal to repeal a new gay-rights law was trailing in early
returns.

In California, voters had a chance to embolden or embarrass Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger as they considered four measures he promoted as part of a power
struggle with legislators and public-employee unions.

The contest in Texas was decided quickly _ the ban was receiving more than 74
percent of the votes in early returns. Like every other state except
Massachusetts, Texas didn't permit same-sex marriages previously, but the
constitutional amendment was touted as an extra guard against future court
rulings.

The campaign had been enlivened over the past week because of a controversial
tactic by the amendment's opponents, who argued in recorded phone calls to
voters that the measure is so poorly worded that it could jeopardize traditional
man-woman marriages. Amendment supporters denounced the effort as misleading.

In Maine, early returns indicated voters were spurning a measure placed on
the ballot by a church-backed conservative coalition that would repeal a
gay-rights law approved by lawmakers earlier this year. The lawmakers expanded
the state's human rights act to outlaw discrimination based on sexual
orientation, a step already taken by the five other New England states.

With about 12 percent of the precincts reporting, 57 percent of the voters
were voting against the repeal effort.
