Greg Abbott, another fascist

Here's another reason why you should disown all right-wing acquaintances with all haste (and marry a leftist just to piss them off).

Greg Abbott (not to be confused with the "Shake You Down" guy) is the Attorney General of Texas. A few months ago, a far-right hate group called Texas Values submitted a brief demanding that Abbott nullify laws in some cities and counties that provide benefits for domestic partnerships. And guess what? Now - because Abbott hates gays - Abbott has complied, by declaring that it violates the Texas Constitution for local governments to provide these benefits.

Mind your own fucking business, Greg.

I just hope the cities and counties have the guts to ignore what Greg Abbott says by continuing to provide domestic partner benefits. Talibanists like Abbott like to talk about "states' rights", so why not cities' rights? Quite frankly, I'm tired of cities that want to do the right thing ducking and running when some eliminationist dickhead like Abbott comes along and tries enforcing their will on them.

Greg Abbott is not a good man.
