As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2015\/05\/texas-anti-gay-marriage-bill-revived.html\" target=\"_blank\">we reported Tuesday<\/a>, the amendment is an effort to revive Rep. Cecil Bell&#8217;s House Bill 4105, which aimed to undermine a potential Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality. The amendment was added to another bill by a socially conservative Democrat, Sen. Eddie Lucio (below right), in the dark of night. However, even if it passes the Senate, the amendment doesn&#8217;t appear to have much chance of making it back through the House before the session ends Monday. The House author of the bill is Democratic Rep.
