How The Wrong Verb Meant The Texas GOP Called Most Texans Gay [View all]

Everyone needs a copy editor. (Thank you, Susan and Amy and Pam.)

As Texas Monthly rightly points out, the sentence actually says that homosexual behavior "has been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nations founders, and shared by the majority of Texans."

That's probably not what Texas Republicans meant.
