No big surprise really. The outcome was as predictable as the tides. It was just another dirty trick perpetrated by the Republican party.</p>

<p>This amendment had no real reason to exist. The <a href="http://www.leaguewv.austin.tx.us/votersguide/vgnov2005.pdf">PDF</a> that Kelly posted from the League of Women Voters stated it pretty well,
<blockquote>Arguments Against 
• Changing the constitution to define marriage and ban same-sex 
marriages is not necessary to set legal principals, as there is a statute 
already prohibiting same-sex marriages. 
• <span class="highlight">Texas should provide equal protection to all its citizens and should not 
discriminate against a group of citizens in the state constitution.</span>
</blockquote>
Years from now, our children will look back and think we were all a bunch of morons.</p>

<p>Anyways, here is The Arcade Fire covering Boys Don&#8217;t Cry at an impromptu gig in NYC near Union Square this past weekend,

How cool is that?</p>
