He also says, if you read it, that they are not guaranteed protection if they fail to issue marriage licenses and that they will be subject to lawsuits. Did you read the article or just the headline?

He also has stated that they will be offered lawyers also.

I actually heard it on the news today, Greatness. You got to love Texas..........

I've been out for a bit so I haven't really been able to comment on this event like I wanted to, so here goes. This is a landmark decision that us Americans see far too little of here in the United S

Yes, they'll be offered lawyers, but he doesn't seem confident they'll win. And they won't win, because the rule is that freedom of religion means they must refer the individual that they cannot serve to someone who can. If no one can, then a lawsuit will take place and the depth of the person's faith will be investigated. I'm very willing to gamble that most of these people 'taking a stand' would fail that investigation.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

I doubt any lawsuits will prevail in Texas

I am just over her loving the way Texas is taking a stand, It is pretty darn funny.........

I really have to give my respects to Texas.

The Attorney General has basically told he US Supreme Court regarding gay marriage to pack sand

I see Paxton being a key figure in Texas politics in the near future for his bold stand........

I wouldn't worry much if I were you.

These are the same people who, for the same reasons, twitch their noses at the notion of interracial marriage and who would not have issued you with a marriage license unless the SCOTUS had told them so, back in 1967. Marriage equality began with Loving v. Virginia. The SCOTUS ruling of last week was only another installment.

Texas Attorney General says Clerks don't have to issue gay marriage licenses

Texas is still holding out, Got to love it

Looks like Texas governor signed into law today "Religious Freedom Act" which allows church clergy or members not to participate in gay marriage and free from civil or criminal action
