Once again I am ashamed of living in Texas and feel pity for those sad people who call themselves christians and yet have no idea what that means

iWon News: "Texans voted overwhelmingly to add a prohibition of same-sex marriage to their constitution on Tuesday, becoming the 19th U.S. state to do so.

With about 550,000 votes counted, Proposition 2 was heading for ratification with 75.5 percent in favor.

The outcome was expected even by opponents and continued a backlash to the movement for same-sex marriage that seemed to gain momentum when a Massachusetts court legalized gay unions in 2004.

Since then, same-sex marriage has suffered a string of losses at the polls as citizens elsewhere have rejected the notion."
