One Texas state senator made a rookie mistake today: tweeting without proofreading.
Upon hearing that Texas’ ban on same-sex marriage was struck down, State Sen. Dan Patrick tweeted:

MARRIAGE= ONE MAN & ONE WOMAN. Enough of these activist judges. FAVORITE if you agree. I know the silent majority out there is with us!
