Texas voters approve same-sex marriage ban
Texas voters Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, making their state the 19th to take that step...The contest in Texas was decided quickly--the ban was receiving 75 percent of the votes in early returns. Like every other state except Massachusetts, Texas didn't permit same-sex marriages previously, but the constitutional amendment was touted as an extra guard against future court rulings.
Kind of an extra little "na-na-na-boo-boo" to the queer community.

We voted against it!!! There was very little press covering this in my area of way out west Texas. Grassroots organizations did their best to get the word out. It passed passed 3:1. In my city alone, only 1.5% of the entire population even came out to vote. We need to do better than this.
