A Texas bill that would have banned same sex marriage dies a well deserved death.

A bill that was seen as a preemptive strike during Supreme Court deliberations over same-sex marriage died in the Texas legislature early Friday. 

The bill would have barred local officials from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples and would have withheld state and local funds for such a purpose. While experts say it may not have withstood a legal challenge, its supporters say it would have sent a message to the Supreme Court and potentially delayed same-sex marriage in the courts. 

The bill would have had to pass the House by the end of the day Thursday to remain in play for the legislative session, which ends June 1. The majority of the chamber’s members had signed on as co-authors, assuring its passage had it reached the floor. But it failed to come up for a vote after opponents of the measure mounted delay tactics that ran out the clock.

Man I cannot get over how desperately some of these states are fighting against the inevitable.

Gay marriage is coming folks.

So either rent that tux and join the most fabulous wedding parties you have ever imagined, or lock yourselves in your house, unplug your television and computers, and hide under your beds in the fetal position til Jesus comes to get ya.
