Attack of the stupid!

Booo! Of course, the minute I decide to move back to Texas, the entire state gets stupid(er).

Observe:

"The constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one
woman and prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this
state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or
similar to marriage."

Note the clumsly language in the second half. They do not state who is being denied this legal status. So, theoretically, it could apply to everyone! Argh! If you're going to be small-minded idiots, don't actually be small minded idiots when it comes to writing the damn laws! Get the smart people to write them!

Only 17% of voters reported on election day, and 76% (or so) voted in favor of it. I don't know what annoys me more, the fact that Prop. 2 passed, or that it passed with only 17% of the state's electorate reporting.

Interestingly, the Republican Party of Texas' website was touting "record turn-out" and total victory. Since when is 17% of the electorate a "record turn-out"? Does Texas suck that much?

Listen you lazy bastards: my father, who is in a wheelchair and can barely move around, dragged his ass out of his sick bed and fucking voted.

Everyone in my family voted against this thing, including my Southern Baptist grandparents who believe, above anything else, that Jesus believed in love and tolerance and stick to their guns, even when their church goes off on fuckin' tangents.

Gahhhh. Texas, why do you suck so much now? You used to be cool! Remember when Ann Richards was governor? She wore leather!

Well, at least I'm ultimately moving to New Mexico. According to my mom, who knows these things, that state isn't nearly as stupid.
