A Step Foward

On February 26, 2014 posted by Charles Kuffner,on the liberal blog Off the Kuff, was Federal Judge Strikes Down Texas' Anti-Same Sex Marriage Law which took a look at the ruling of the San Antonio federal judge where he deemed that the law banning same-sex marriage in Texas is unconstitutional. I do believe this posting was very clear on the point the author was trying make. I think the credibility of the post is established by the use of quotes from the judge and other activists of same-sex marriage. The quotes also explain why the decision was made which was also very informative. The author also makes some other strong points using the quotes and excerpts but also in their own words. I liked the fact that this posting was straight to the point and that the author specifies that this does not mean the fight is over but that this is a big step for Texas. There are other postings about the ruling but of all this seemed to be the most well thought out, clear, and informative one I read. I would have liked to see some of what the opposition had to say about the ruling and what they plan on doing. I felt the posting was very one sided in its take on the situation but I did like the overall clarity of the posting in general. I think that a different point of view would have made the post itself that much stronger. I think everyone would benefit more if each side of the view is truly considered and taken into account, instead of being pushed aside.
