"Financially, now we're intertwined, and we will have community property that we will share," Bryant said shortly after the marriage ceremony outside the county clerk's office, where the couple was flanked by a rabbi, friends and their two teenage daughters, whom they both legally adopted years ago.

Obviosuly Texas will go after the "gay married" couple and ignore the 6.4 million uninsured.
