Equality seems to be an issue in more than one sense right now in Texas. One major aspect troubling Texas that needs to be addressed is marriage equality. I was very interested in the point raised in Jaren Lynch's blog titled, Gay-Marriage Equality in Texas. The point Jaren raises is that no matter straight or gay it's unconstitutional to deny someone the right to marry the person they love. I completely agree with this argument and am glad to see people fighting for their rights. I live with my girlfriend currently and if we decided to marry and were denied by the law of the state we live in that would be extremely upsetting.
One argument I could think to raise would be, I don't believe that states should have laws banning same-sex marriage if the national government must already recognize same-sex marriage anyway. Our fore-fathers wrote the US Constitution with the intention of making a nation built off of Equality and that is what every American should be fighting for.
