Texas has joined the ranks of US States That Ignore Civil Liberties.

What is truly galling is that majority of the people that supported this thing consider themselves patriots for infringing the rights of their fellow citizens. What is truly aggravating is that the "victory" party sponsored by Kelly "Closet Ass Rapist" Shackelford* was held at a Baptist Church in Austin, inferring that my particular flavor of Christianity openly endorses hatred of certain people. What is truly pathetic is that even though it doesn't really change anything in Texas, 77% of Texans who voted found Homosexual Love frightening enough to alter their state constitution.
Afraid of the Mexican Army? No way. Afraid of terrorists? Pshaw. Afraid of Mr. Garrison and Mr. Slave? Apparently so. This totally calls into question that whole iconographic Texan Bad-Ass thing.
*Whether or not Shackelford is actually a pillow-biting Sodomite is unknown by the author; however, the rumor exists, and as a simple reporter it isn't actually my place to confirm or deny allegations concerning a public figure's character.
