...Judson Beaumont began his career as a sculptor, crafting minimal, geometric wooden pieces. Then he saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the Toon Town extremes inspired him to go in a new direction.

...Texas, a lower-court judge in Beaumont allowed two men who had been wed in Vermont to dissolve their union, but he reversed himself after state attorney general Greg Abbott argued that because Texas law prohibits gay marriage, the state cannot grant a gay divorce.
