U.S. Judge Strikes Down Texas' Same-Sex Marriage Ban


To Gov. Rick Perry, with love and sodomy:
"Without a rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose, state-imposed inequality can find no refuge in our U.S. Constitution.”-- Federal District Court Judge Orlando Garcia, February 26, 2014  
"A federal judge in San Antonio ruled Wednesday that Texas’ ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutionally deprives some citizens of due process and equal protection under the law by stigmatizing their relationships and treating them differently from opposite-sex couples. U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia cited recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings as having trumped Texas’ moves to ban gay marriage." -- Dallas Morning News
