Same-sex marriage is one of the most controversial issues here in Texas; with that being said views can fluctuate over time. Aaron Blake of The Washington Post writes a very interesting article explaining a recent case in which a court judge strikes down Texas’ ban on gay marriage.

In 2005 Texans amended the state constitution to define marriage exclusively as a union between a man and a woman
