So no big surprise, the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage passed, 76%-24% statewide. Travis county (mine) passed it 56%-24%, which is sort of comforting, but 7 of the other 9 counties in Austin passed it with at least 70%. Four of those with at least 80%- the largest margin was Coryell county- 87%-13%. Thanks, folks of Coryell.

Tarrant county (where my parents live) passed it 77%-23%.

I'd like to hope my mother saw this on the news and felt at least a little bad.

Lubbock passed it by 83%. My city shames me.

It's so frustrating, you know? Even though I knew this would be the outcome, I have to admit a little tiny part of me was hoping at least one county would defeat it.

But it will turn around one day. Hopefully in our lifetimes.
