Let us say that you are working. Your co-worker's husbands got medical and dental insurance via marriage. But you were married to a Jewish Man and he couldn't get those benefits because he was Jewish. Or you were married to a Black man and he couldn't get those benefits because he was black.
Or you were legally married to a man who was the same sex as you, and he wasn't given medical or dental because your are both men or women.
Of those three ideas, guess which one is legal in Texas.
And guess which one the Supreme Court just upheld as legal in the United States. Yep, it is totally legal to give different rights (and always fewer) to people married to same-sex partners as opposed to opposite sex partners. Supreme Court says so...

Again my triggers on GTFOOD (... getting the fuck out of Dodge).
- - - - from Jan 20, 2017 - - - -
So, in reality, these are the triggers I see that would make me want to get the fuck out of Dodge.
1. Right to Marriage is overturned via Supreme Court
2.
Serious talk of "postponing the next election" occurs and / or
legislation is introduced (my guess is this would occur - IF it occurs -
due to a terrorist attack and we should "all come together).
These are general warning signs and hitting a majority of these would tend to have me thinking of leaving:
1. Right to discriminate laws are passed and upheld by the Supreme Court
<- DONE 12/4/2017
2. Any registry of Muslims is started up and advertised as a positive
3. Newspapers are successfully shut down for negative press coverage
There you go. That is my list of triggers per last night's discussion.
I feel better for getting these down.
