Texas View honors fairness as guardsmen enroll same sex spouses
The Texas National Guard will begin enrolling five facilities' same sex dependent spouses in benefits programs, signaling a shift after prior resistance to Pentagon rules. Governor Perry and others faced a clash with federal orders, while the Supreme Court's act also frames marriage rights as a basic equality issue. The move mirrors nationwide questions on whether all service members deserve equal benefits and rights.

Lanza mass shooting report questions gaming link
A state review of the Sandy Hook massacre questions the idea that video game habits or mental illness alone caused Adam Lanza to kill. The report notes Lanza played both violent and nonviolent games, including Super Mario Brothers and Dance Dance Revolution, and finds little evidence his mental health alone predicted violence. It also says all guns were legally purchased by his mother and questions how firearm laws would have altered the outcome. The report urges avoiding simplistic explanations a year after the tragedy.
