Kudos to Greg Abbott

 

The Texas Attorney General is to be commended for taking some stands that don't meet the politically correct agenda. The latest is his opinion upholding the constitutional amendment passed by 76% of Texas voters in 2005. The amendment defines marriage as being between a man and a woman and precludes any governmental entity from creating or recognizing "any legal status identical or similar to marriage."

 

Oops! Several Texas cities and counties have voted to provide benefits to unmarried partners. Can't do it, says Mr. Abbott. A political subdivision cannot create "a legal status of domestic partnership" and then offer "public benefits based upon it."

 

 

Thank you, Greg Abbott!
