Protecting your family is all well and good, but I would bet that these thousands of people are NOT Board Members of the largest advocacy organization for Same Sex Marriage and (supposedly) Trans rights. This act helps neither.
The state of Texas does not recognize the target sex or gender of people who have transitioned or in the process of transitioning. The state of Texas also does not view this as a same sex marriage, they view these only as a Bride and Groom. Even though the Groom is prettier than most Grooms, Ms. Stabler has of her own free will declared herself a groom.
This is again showing that we trans folks pick and choose who we want to be only any given day. This will help Texas to reclassify me back to my assigned sex at birth.
As far as protecting Ms. Stabler family, there are plenty of other Legal ways to draw up contracts to handle this. The gay and lesbian couples in Texas do this every day, and they are not served well by this act. This representative of the HRC not only sold out her trans brothers and sister, she sold out the struggle for her gay and lesbian sisters and brothers.
If Stabler was a private citizen then I would not have as big an issue with this. However, she is supposed to be lobbying for my interest in Austin. In this act, she has lost any credibility in her efforts.
How can she talk the talk, if she will not walk the walk?
