Because Texas has now amended their state contsitution to inform a specific minority that they do not have the same rights as other people.


Would you then agree that Medicare and welfare are discriminatory programs? I can't get Medicare unless I'm old and I can't get welfare unless I'm a poor single mother. Seems like they're treating and considering based on categories rather than merit in these cases. Do you support that?

If two twelve year-olds from Texas want to marry, can they? If you don't let them marry, isn't that discrimination, since you're saying they can only marry if they're of age?

It's easy to pull the 'discrimination/all of our human rights are evaporating' card, but when you put it into perspective these sorts of restrictions are hardly foreign to America.
