Description
A news article about a female impersonator marrying another man in Texas. Marriage between two men was illegal in the state of Texas, and both parties could have been sent to prison for two to five years. The article describes how the couple committed a false swearing by providing a fake surname. Same sex marriage was not legal and therefore the marriage between the two parties was null.
