Gay Marriage and Divorce in Texas
Reading this article on Kxan where a born man now woman marries another woman in San Antonio, they had tried to obtain a license to wed in El Paso but were denied. Now this person was born a man and according to the Texas Constitution marriage is between a woman and man so why so much havoc? Why didn't El Paso just grant them the license and avoid this legal man and woman couple from marrying. Now I am open to any type of marriage as long as your happy after all its your life, I just think Texas should swap around rules from county to county if San Antonio approved this that so should of El Paso. I understand Texas is a conservative state but in the rare cases like this there should be no issue. I hope that in the near future all people can do as they please and marry which ever gender they decide. Also there is another case where two women married in Massachusetts, and wanted a divorce in Texas. At first it was granted by the Texas attorney general but then appealed by Greg Abbot. This is funny to me and it was also mentioned in the article by CBS news if in the Texas constitution it states marriage is only between woman and man like mentioned before then initially Texas did approve this viewing this as a marriage then taken back which is totally hypicritical. I just believe we should give gay couples equality all around. After all they are human and deserve every right !!

I agree with you "Marriage" should be between two individuals, who love each. It should be up to the individual to decide, who they want to marry not to the state. The state should focus on more important issue such as education, the budget, etc.. I believe it is time to amend the constitution. Most of us, nowadays, are for gay marriages or just do not care, as long as we are left alone. The constitution is outdated!
Learning about how gays are having a difficult time trying to get married or divorce in some areas of Texas. Looking at this makes me wonder why should it be so difficult for gay people to get a license for them to get married between both genders. If you allow them to get married in San Antonio but not divorce in El Paso, why isn’t it equal? You should let them get married and divorce in the same city. Seeing this article from my colleague page makes me to agree with them to make it equal in all places. All states should pass the law for gays to get married and divorce. They should have the same privilege just like the rest of us.
