The results are in from Tuesday night's election, and Proposition Two passed. Effective immediately, the Texas Constiution will now define marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Proposition Two passed by a huge margin. However, the majority of voters in Travis County voted against the amendement [sic]. [I ♥ Austin so FUCKING much!]
Here's a look at a breakdown of the numbers: 76 percent voted for Proposition Two, and 24 percent voted against.
As you can imagine Tuesday night, both sides of the issue had a lot to say.
"Ninety percent of the young people have voted against this amendment. That shows me that we got our message out," Anne Wynne with No Nonsense in November said. [Things are changing. We may have to wait for the bigots to die, but...]
"I don't know if God has spoken, but I know that when Glen Maxey says something that God is not involved in this type of issue or does not address this issue, he really clearly has about 8,000 years ago," David Contreras, Justice at the Gate, said. [Okay, what? I'm still not sure what he was trying to say. Separation of church and state mean anything to you, asshat? Oh, and Glen Maxey rocks. SO much.]

*sigh*
