Yeah I did see that in the article, that she isn't legally obligated (and gave her the nod for referring people to someone else rather than burying their paperwork). It's still a case of an official of the judiciary using their position as a platform for activism (the message I completely agree with, the delivery is a bit meh, to me, personally).

I fucking love it! Can she get some hell yeah's? I think she deserves them for being so badfuckingass.
Oh hell yeah! Stick it to the church ladies, judge!
Is it just me or does that judge look extra hot? Kind of sexy that she is hiding her smoking hot self under that butch hair cut and suit.

Think of it this way -- both of you can reminisce on the one thing you both love the most -- vagina.

Quote:then you are required by law to do it, or to find another job.
Technically. However, I worked for federal Social Security here in Australia.(it is NOTHING like the US version) I was a decision maker,spending tens of millions of dollars a year.Some government policy was very harsh and punitive to the unemployed, so I didn't follow it,making up my own policy. HOW did I get away with that shit?--------------------------------
Here there is often a big difference between policy and law.I knew the law. (was used as an expert witness in court) I documented everything ,always citing the law, but only also citing policy if it supported my decision. I never once had one of my decisions changed in-house or overturned on appeal. PLUS, I told NO ONE about my personal policies.
The law is often easy to circumvent,if you know what you're doing; lawyers do it constantly.

That's all I'm saying. Can't get angry with the church-lady for refusing to marry homosexuals, and then applaud this judge for making exactly the same decision in reverse.
The difference being, judges aren't required to officiate weddings as part of their job. It's totally optional. My uncle has been a judge for 20+ years & has never married anyone. Not the same for the clerk whose sole job it is to record & file marriage licenses along with other official documents.
Apples & oranges.

It's different because that judge is not marrying anyone, straight or gay. Since gay marriage is still illegal in Texas, she can't marry a gay couple and then tell straight couples to hit the bricks. That court clerk is still signing marriage licenses for straight couples, but not gay ones. This is a dereliction of duty and she should be fired for it if she doesn't agree to do her job.
