Nearly 10 years ago, more than 76 percent of Texas voters amended the Texas Constitution to declare marriage as the "union of one man and one woman." In recent years, unelected federal judges have overturned the will of the people by striking down laws such as these. That's why Gary VanDeaver was among more than 100 co-sponsors of an event at the Texas Capitol in support of traditional marriage in Texas, and supported the Pastor Protection Act, which protects pastors and religious organizations from having to participate in same-sex weddings.
