I'm a Texan and can't say I'm particularly a fan of the state politics or the current US Supreme Court, but at the same time, I can't say that this law particularly bothers me. I don't have children, and so I don't know if I can really understand what parents are dealing with in trying to ensure that their children are kept away from undesirable material, but it does seem rather difficult; I certainly don't envy them.

This is just the beginning.

Edit: really confused as to why this simple statement is flagged

"...and if we let gay people get married soon people will be marrying their dogs!"

I do think there are legitimate reasons to not like the bill, but what you said is classic slippery slope

That’s an insane leap of what I said. Like the opposite of what I said. Legalizing gay marriage is giving people more rights, not restricting them like what the court is doing here.
