San Antonio Express-News: Don't Amend

By Byron LaMasters

The San Antonio Express-News editorialized (cross-posted here) against the proposed amendment to the Texas constitution banning same-sex marriage:

Government should get out of the marriage business, leaving the faith community to decide which unions can go before God and be called holy matrimony.

Government should, instead, provide equal civil rights to all Americans through civil unions.

Surely, conservatives, who want limited government, and liberals, concerned with civil rights, can agree in this common-sense measure.

That is better than continuing a highly emotional, divisive debate over who is allowed to be considered married.
