Texas Marriage Amendment
Today, Texans are voting on a constitutional amendment protecting marriage’s definition as “the union of one man and one woman.” The vote, despite attempts by opponents to mischaracterize the amendment’s meaning, will continue America’s movement toward protecting marriage from judicial threat.
Check out this slanted coverage of the amendment:
Supporters and opponents of Proposition 2, the same-sex marriage ban, waged a heated campaign battle that escalated until Election Day.
The pro-Prop 2 group Texans for Marriage launched a television ad over the weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Austin markets called “For God’s Design.” Its message was that the Bible states God intended for marriage to be between one man and one woman.
On Monday, amendment supporters arranged for recorded calls from Catholic Bishop John Yanta of Amarillo to go out to more than 800,000 Texas households, many of them Hispanic, urging a vote for the proposition.
No Nonsense in November, a leading anti-Prop 2 organization, has held almost daily events and on Saturday led a protest of some 3,000 people in Austin against a small Ku Klux Klan group that had gathered to support the amendment.
Why should a “small” rally of the KKK in support of the marriage amendment garner any space in the article? Only to insidiously insinuate that if you support the marriage amendment, you agree with the KKK. What garbage. After all, if you want to highlight any commendable aspect of the marriage amendment opposition against the tyranny of marriage proponents, it’d have to their stance against 12 Racist White Robes, right?
