Texas' gay marriage ban may have banned all marriages

Let's hope that they don't untill the error is fixed. Chances are, our AG will, or maybe already has, fixed the error and is the reason why no lawyer here has dared caught on.

Until then, the law will be applied as is currently practiced. Marriage between one man, one woman, to the exclusion of all else.

you are wrong, and all texans would know, and that is all that matters and that is the reality. :)

There is no such thing as reality in Texas. It's strikes me as odd you would claim otherwise.

There's absolutely no way to read that second provision in light of the first and conclude that it "may" have banned all marriages, unless of course, you're a candidate in a primary who is looking to stir up some headlines and raise name awareness.

True, but it does suggest that subdivisions within the state can redefine their definition of legal marriage to exclude everything they don't like. Now, that's highly unlikely to survive a court challenge, but if subdivisions can decide what they want to recognize or not, that opens up discrimination of all sorts.
