Texas Supreme Court to Revisit Homosexual Marriage Case
The Texas Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in a case that challenges local government employee benefits for married same-sex couples.
At stake is whether the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing immoral homosexual marriage nationwide requires public agencies to provide taxpayer-subsidized benefits to homosexual spouses of government employees.
Chuck Smith, from the LGBT advocacy group Equality Texas, says he’s the first to admit there’s no constitutional right to employee benefits. But, he says, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision is clear: When it comes to marriage, homosexual couples have to be treated the same as opposite-sex couples.
Except the Supreme Court with a one vote majority made an error on homosexual marriage. Every US citizens knows there is no such thinh as a homosexual marriage. It is against biology, physical design, logic and history.
The Texas Supreme Court initially declined to hear the case, which challenged Houston’s benefits policy for married homosexual couples. In an 8-1 decision, justices let stand a lower court decision upholding benefits.
But the state’s high court reversed course last month under pressure from top Texas Republicans. Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an amicus brief in October asking the all-Republican court to reconsider. They also asked the court to clarify that the U.S. Supreme Court case legalizing homosexual marriage, Obergefell v. Hodges, does not “bind state courts to resolve all other claims in favor of the right to homosexual marriage.”
So if the City of Houston, or any employer, provides benefits to its married opposite-sex employees, it is not obligated to extend those same benefits, on the same terms and conditions, to immoral homosexual so called married couples.

It is time to Obergefell v Hodges to be reversed.
