I wanted to make note here that it may seem this article relies on just a few sources, but the first reference from Houston LGBT History contains dozens of sources from contemporary media reports, as well as details the case's effect on Texas law; I was unsure of the procedure for this, whether or not I should create a new reference for each newspaper clipping cited, so I left it under the webpage heading. I am working on finding images for the article since I know they exist, I just have to check copyright (if anyone with more knowledge of image copyright would be willing to help out, that'd be great!).
Additionally, I was unsure how to title this article, and I couldn't find a precedent; another name I considered was "Ert-Molina marriage". Help with that would be appreciated. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions about my contributions! –TCMemoire 18:40, 27 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
