Gays and lesbians in Texas are bracing for what they call the 'mother of all battles' over a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage that will go to voters in November.

This week the Lesbian & Gay Rights Lobby of Texas announced that former state Representative Glen Maxey will lead the charge against the proposed amendment.

"We are excited and pleased to announce that the search for a campaign director to lead the coalition of Texans opposed to HJR 6 has been concluded, and that one of the premier political organizers in Texas will be at the helm," said Jill Ireland and John Hintz, co-chairs of the Board of Directors of the Lesbian/Gay Rights Lobby of Texas in a statement.
