When I was a small girl, white folks used to talk about "protecting the institution of marriage" as well. What they meant was if people of my color tried to marry people of Mr. Chisum's color, you'd often find the people of my color hanging from a tree. . . . Fifty years ago, white folks thought interracial marriages were "a threat to the institution of marriage."After this speech, the Texas House passed the amendment.
Members, I'm a Christian and a proud Christian. I read the good book and do my best to live by it. I have never read the verse where it says, "Gay people can't marry." I have never read the verse where it says, "Thou shalt discriminate against those not like me." I have never read the verse where it says, "Let's base our public policy on hate and fear and discrimination." Christianity to me is love and hope and faith and forgiveness -- not hate and discrimination.

Wow, that's a really good speech and a really good way of phrasing things. There are lots of people in my town who support an Anti-Gay view of things, which I think is radically unfair as love of any type should be allowed to exist. This is such a great speech^^.
