Dallas County Texas: First gay couple to wed are 82-year-old George Harris & 85-year-old Jack Evans

At 11:53 a.m., 82-year-old George Harris and 85-year-old Jack Evans became the first same-sex couple officially married in Dallas County. The ceremony was brief. The couple received a standing ovation as they entered the courtroom and were met with cheers after exchanging vows. They have been together more than five decades.

“Everybody wins,” Evans said. “Nobody loses.”

Harris added, “Love rules.”

Courtrooms in Dallas, and the rest of the state, are now filling up with couples waiting to be married — and the judges who will conduct their weddings.

After the ceremony, Harris said, “I hope we can let the [Texas] conservatives see us and know we are not a danger to society.”

Contrast this loving couple that just wants to finally have their relationship recognized, like all other couples....

to all the spew and vomit that is coming from Pukes, Baggers, Hatters, Religious Extremist Terrorists and their ilk.

The line in the sand is clear as the nose on your faces America...

Love...or...Hate.

Clear and simple.

Congrats to these two men again.
