I sincerely hope that history will mock these people:
The Harris County GOP sued the City of Houston on Tuesday, challenging Mayor Annise Parker’s decision to extend health and life insurance benefits to legally married same-sex couples whose marriages have been recognized in states with marriage equality laws.
The new policy has been put on hold by District Judge Lisa Millard after signing a temporary restraining order. The policy won’t go before a judge until after New Year’s Day, on Jan. 6, 2014.
Jared Woodfill, the chairman of the Harris County GOP, is leading the lawsuit. “This is one of the most egregious acts by an elected official I’ve ever seen,” said Woodfill. “They just decided to, unilaterally, as a lame duck, thumb their nose at the will of the people and just spit on the U.S. Constitution.”
Where exactly in the U.S. Constitution does it say gay marriage is illegal remains to be mystery.
I don’t appreciate your mocking me with this news about my neighbor city (I’m in Sugar Land, home of Pete Olson) and the text of the letter above to congressman Issa.
You are making me want to migrate toward the cold!
I’m a former Houstonian myself, so it seemed the least I could do.
