I was actually looking for something else when I came across this headline:

Texas OKs Textbooks That Define Marriage - "Marriage has been defined in Texas, so it should also be defined in our health textbooks that we use as marriage between a man and a woman," Leo said.

After hearing the debate Thursday, one publisher, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, agreed to include a definition of marriage as a "lifelong union between a husband and a wife." The definition, which was added to middle school textbooks, already was in Holt's high school editions, Holt spokesman Rick Blake said.

The other publisher, Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, changed phrases such as "when two people marry" and "partners" to "when a man and a woman marry" and "husbands and wives."

while I'm not much into politics and hardly ever write about them here, I wonder which moron approved this and thinking to myself, this is where our president is from that in itself might get me into hot water with my parents because that is where they are from originally but really who has the right to define marriage, what constitues marriage. I can't believe that people still think that way, that marriage is only between a man and a woman.

I wonder is someone going to define what love is between two people in Texas? Where does it end? What gives people that right?
