In its anti-gay zeal, Texas may have banned all marriages



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

I always knew the anti-gay constitutional amendments would lead to unanticipated problems. I thought some right-winger would use one of the bans to claim divorces weren't allowed, since most said marriage was the "union of one man and one woman" -- and that meant only one man and one woman. After all, many of the theocrats do think divorce is the biggest threat to marriage.

But, Texas may have outdone itself. All marriages may have been banned by the state. Joe.My.God has the details:

Anti-gay legislators in Texas have an egg on their faces today as others realize that the 2005 ban on same-sex marriages actually bans ALL marriages, depending on who is reading the law's fine print.
