BREAKING: Texas Judge: Ban On Gay Marriage Unconstitutional
A Dallas, Texas state district judge will hear the case of a same sex couple who have filed for divorce. The state’s attorney general had argued that since Texas doesn’t allow same sex marriage, it cannot allow same sex divorce.
The judge disagreed.
“…Dallas state District Judge Tena Callahan ruled Thursday that the state’s bans on same-sex marriage violates the constitutional guarantee to equal protection under the law.”
The attorney general will be appealing the ruling.
