A state constitutional amendment banning marriage for same-sex couples was introduced in the Texas legislature November 8, 2004.
On November 22, 2004, a second state constitutional amendment was introduced, with language even harsher than the first.
The Anti-Gay Texas Marriage Amendment hurts Texas families. It would permanently write unequal treatment for gay and lesbian Texans into our Constitution.
BREAKING ALERT! In a sneak attack on the LGBT community, the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs scheduled a last-minute public hearing on HJR 6 for Monday, May 16 at 8:30am.
Contact the Senate! Now that HJR 6 has passed the Texas House of Representatives, our Texas Senators have to power to halt this discriminatory amendment.
