Legislative Blunder Annuls All Marriage in Texas

Have you heard the disturbing news about Proposition 2?

Any greedy insurance company, tricky divorce attorney or liberal activist judge could use this Constitutional Amendment to annul all marriage in Texas. Only your vote can fix it.

DON’T RISK IT - VOTE AGAINST IT!
READ IT FOR YOURSELF!

Proponents of Proposition 2 keep telling us it would protect traditional marriage by writing into the Texas Constitution a prohibition on marriage and civil unions for same-sex couples, but it actually does much more – if passed it annuls ALL marriage in Texas, even for heterosexuals.

That’s because the language that would be written directly into the Texas Constitution if this passes is flawed.

Don’t take our word for it, read the language for yourself:

Article I (The Bill of Rights), Texas Constitution, would be amended to read as follows:

Sec. 32. (a) MARRIAGE in this state shall consist ONLY OF THE UNION OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.

(b) THIS STATE or a political subdivision of this state MAY NOT create or RECOGNIZE ANY LEGAL STATUS IDENTICAL or similar TO MARRIAGE.

By leaving out key words, legislators are invalidating all marriage!

The language is clear:
(a) defines marriage between one man and one woman, and
(b) prohibits the recognition of (a)

Therefore prohibiting marriage between one man and one woman!

Legislators in other states that have passed similar amendments got it right, when trying to prohibit marriage between same-sex couples. They included key language that clarifies marriage between one man and one woman would still be recognized:

For example, in Utah, they defined marriage as between one man and one woman, and then said, "NO OTHER domestic status or union, however denominated, between persons is valid or
recognized or may be authorized, sanctioned, or given the same or substantially equivalent legal effect as a marriage."

In Kentucky, the language read, “A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage FOR UNMARRIED INDIVIDUALS shall not be valid or recognized."

DON’T RISK IT - VOTE AGAINST IT!
