So no big surprise, the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage passed, 76%-24% statewide. Travis county (mine) passed it 56%-24%, which is sort of comforting, but 7 of the other 9 counties in Austin passed it with at least 70%. Four of those with at least 80%- the largest margin was Coryell county- 87%-13%. Thanks, folks of Coryell.
Tarrant county (where my parents live) passed it 77%-23%.
I'd like to hope my mother saw this on the news and felt at least a little bad.
gay,
stupidity,
politics
