Beloved Chuck Norris show ‘Walker, Texas Ranger’ will get pro-LGBT reboot

Fans of the beloved old CBS show Walker, Texas Ranger will be sorely disappointed to hear it will be getting the CW treatment in its reboot. In addition to Walker getting a new female partner, media reported on Wednesday that he will have a “gay, conservative younger brother.” The new series will be titled simply Walker and star Jared Padalecki (Supernatural) who will also executive produce. The original, which starred Chuck Norris as Texas Ranger Cordell Walker and aired eight seasons from 19930–2001, was a wholesome, moral show about good vs. evil and roundhouse kicks.

I just don't see that being an issue that's going to be addressed anytime soon,” he said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. , March 28, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A recently discovered cache of e-mails raises the question of whether Vaughn R. Walker , the judge who blocked California’s Proposition 8 which protected traditional marriage , had an inappropriately close relationship with the attorneys who argued the case before him. The legal blog  Patterico’s Ponderings  has published an  e-mail exchange  between Vaughn R. Walker, the judge who blocked California’s Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage, and the law partner of Ted Olson , an attorney who argued against the bill during the trial in 2010 and is currently arguing against it again before the U.S. Supreme Court . Retired Judge Vaughn Walker struck down Proposition 8. The e-mails portray a close relationship between the two men, with Walker seeking to avoid harming Olson’s case, even accidentally, and discussing plans for a Christmastime gathering. According to the e-mails posted by Patterico.com, Walker, who is
