The amendment, approved by the Legislature and overwhelmingly ratified by voters, declares that "marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman." But the troublemaking phrase, as Radnofsky sees it, is Subsection B, which declares:"This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage."Architects of the amendment included the clause to ban same-sex civil unions and domestic partnerships. But Radnofsky, who was a member of the powerhouse Vinson & Elkins law firm in Houston for 27 years until retiring in 2006, says the wording of Subsection B effectively "eliminates marriage in Texas," including common-law marriages.
"It’s a silly argument," said Kelly Shackelford, president of the Liberty Legal Institute in Plano. Any lawsuit based on the wording of Subsection B, he said, would have "about one chance in a trillion" of being successful.

How could anyone call it a silly argument? It says it bans anything IDENTICAL TO marriage. l m f a o

I'd rather the church had nothing to do with marriage. It's a binding agreement to the state to begin with. Do people go to church to get divorced? (yes I know about annulments)
"One could say that Gay marriage did ruin it for everyone."
Did they not deploy it to a staging server first? Where were their unit tests?
