GOP activist asks Texas AG to defy marriage ruling: ‘Lousy bastards’ letting ‘Sodomites queer our country’

The Texas attorney general told county clerks they could refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after hearing from religious activists who warned against letting “Sodomites queer our country.”

Emails released as part of an open-records request revealed that Christian conservative activists such as Steve Hotze, a Houston physician and an influential Republican activist, contacted Attorney General Ken Paxton immediately to ask him to fight the ruling, reported The Dallas Morning News.

“Greetings in the name of Christ our King!” Hotze wrote, urging Paxton not to comply with the ruling because it did not specifically order states to do so.

“The illegitimate SCOTUS ruling does not name Texas, so fight those lousy bastards,” said Hotze, president of Conservative Republicans of Texas. “They hate God and want to let the Sodomites queer our country.”

Midland energy executive Tim Dunn asked Paxton the day after the June 28 ruling to assist in the legal defense of any Texas businesses, schools or individuals penalized for resisting the ruling on marriage equality.

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]I swear I have to set my cell phone back 100 years every time I go from Odessa to Midland.

For twin cities I am glad that Odessa is not as regressive as Midland. It has to be the fact that they got a full college and actually have some educated people in Odessa.

Paxton and everyone who voted for that shock jock idiot are all morons.[/font]
