It's not like I care that people are gay, nor do I care if they want to get married. But seeing as to their is nothing limiting the rights of Texans to do this, nor the citizens of any other state, then this is what is American. You wage your war for the hearts and minds of the homophobes the country round, hope it works out for you.

You're right; there's nothing more American than using a governmental tool to persecute people you don't agree with.
The fact is that these idiots who vote for measures like this don't have a proper grasp of why government exists. I would love to know the number of people who voted for this who are conservative, just to finally see whether their desire for small government truly is BS.
If I didn't already hate the vast majority of Southerners, this would do it. Their ignorance really knows no bounds.
