DALLAS, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles®) – The Lone Star State is suing the U.S. Supreme Court over Friday’s ruling which legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

Governor Greg Abbott announced today that Texas will file a class-action law suit on Monday asking the Supreme Court to void the ruling of the Supreme Court.

“The Supreme Court has abandoned its role as an impartial judicial arbiter and has become an unelected nine-member legislature. Five Justices on the Supreme Court have imposed on the entire country their personal views on an issue that the Constitution and the Court’s previous decisions reserve to the people of the States,” Abbott said in an official statement.

“If the high court does not reverse its ruling, I will ask my Republican Colleagues in the Senate to initiate impeachment proceedings against all justices who joined in the majority decision granting LGBT Americans the same rights as heterosexul married couples.”

“No one messes with Texas,” Abbott said, “not even the Supremes.”

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles ® ) – While the (almost) entire United States was celebrating today’s Supreme Court ruling affirming the constitutional right to marry for members of the LGBT community, Hawaii was celebrating the news that one of its own — Filipina lesbian Denora Dancel — has been awarded the first-ever Nobel Prize for Marriage Equality.

Dancel and Nina Baehr were the same-sex partners who sued the state of Hawaii for denying them a marriage license.  The Hawaii Supreme Court in 1993 ruled in their favor in the much-celebrated case of Baehr vs. Lewin.  The landmark case began the movement in the rest of the country to challenge the ban on same-sex marriage in the  courts, all leading up to today’s historic victory for equality and civil rights.

The Nobel Prize committee is trying to locate Dancel and Baehr so that it could send the formal invitation to them travel to Oslo, Norway, to personally receive the award.

DEMOCRATS WOO REPUBLICAN CAITLYN JENNER

CaptureWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles ) – It is common knowledge that the former Bruce Jenner was a Republican.  It is therefore not a surprise that among the first to welcome Caitlyn into their fold was the Log Cabin Republicans.

Log Cabin Republicans is the nation’s original and largest organization representing gay conservatives and allies who support fairness, freedom, and equality for all Americans, and who believe in electing Republicans into office.  Just this year, the California chapter officially gave charter status to the group, giving it a vote in state Republican party matters and policies.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has reportedly reached out to Caitlyn in the hope that she will switch party affiliation.

The committee is confident that it can win over Caitlyn, citing the fact that there are more Democrats who support her and who support key LGBT issues like same-sex marriage.

“While Bruce was Republican, Caitlyn is an entirely new person and that new person is more aligned with the Democratic ideology, especially as it relates to LGBT equality,” a DNC spokesperson said.

The DNC cited the fact that all declared Republican presidential candidates believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, and that most are lukewarm to giving equal federal rights to LGBTs.

The ball is now in Caitlyn’s court.
