You can read proposition 2 word for word
here.
quote:
Ballot Language
"The constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage."
"Enmienda constitucional que dispone que en este estado el matrimonio consiste exclusivamente en la unin de un hombre y una mujer y que desautoriza, en este estado o en alguna subdivisin política del mismo, la creacin o el reconocimiento de cualquier estatus jurídico idéntico o semejante al matrimonio."
Brief Explanation
HJR 6 would provide that marriage in Texas is solely the union of a man and woman, and that the state and its political subdivisions could not create or recognize any legal status identical to or similar to marriage, including such legal status relationships created outside of Texas.
The yellow part defines what the word "marriage" is. Look at the red part very carefully.
They forgot to put in the word
other in that part of the proposition. In other words, anything identical or similar to marriage, which is defined in the first part of the sentence, is prohibited.
Hahaha, I hope it gets passed!!!
