TX Comptroller Susan Combs removes mention of gays from her website

[TexasTowelie]

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs posted a BBC story this week that highlighted the 10 reasons people are moving to Texas.

Reason No. 7 lists the state as family-friendly and mentions that “San Antonio is home to the largest community of gay parents.”

Combs tweeted Reason No. 7 on Wednesday, and Equality Texas retweeted it, thanking her for celebrating all families. Combs then removed the full story from her website, including the 10 reasons and the gay parent mention, leaving only the intro and the story link.

Combs spokeswoman Lauren Willis said several articles shared on the website are eventually shortened and the removal of the whole story was “absolutely not” because it mentioned gay parents.

1. If she posted the full article, might it not have been a violation of copyright?

Just thinking out loud. She still has the link to the BBC story, which bears the "BBC © 2013" mark.

And, I notice that she's cut the excerpt down to the acceptable four paragraphs.
