Gay couples denied full marriage benefits in Texas

Well I shouldn't say this is totally unexpected but with a precedent set like this by SCOTUS... well let's just say the second dark age doesn't seem too far off.

Quote:Same-sex couples can get married in Texas, but they won’t have the same rights that heterosexual couples do.

The U.S. Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling on Monday that allows the state to take away spousal benefits under employee insurance plans from married same-sex couples.
