Dallas County Judge Tonya Parker says she won't perform marriage ceremonies until homosexuals can be wed.
During a Feb. 21 meeting, Parker told the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas that while she has the power to perform legal marriage ceremonies in her court, she will not.
“I use it as my opportunity to give them a lesson about marriage inequality in this state because I feel like I have to tell them why I’m turning them away,” Parker said. “So I usually will offer them something along the lines of, ‘I’m sorry. I don’t perform marriage ceremonies because we are in a state that does not have marriage equality, and until it does, I am not going to partially apply the law to one group of people that doesn’t apply to another group of people.’ And it’s kind of oxymoronic for me to perform ceremonies that can’t be performed for me, so I’m not going to do it."

Fire her
I’m getting so sick of these people.
Can the people of Dallas County vote this jackass judge out of office?
Impeach her. It’s not the judiciary’s perogative to redefine what Marriage means.
Judge Tonya Parker
I don’t know if that officiating at marriages is a required portion of her duties as a sworn judge but if it is she should be summoned in front of a judicial review board and either sanctioned or made to resign.
So what? Ignore her temper tantrum and get someone who knows what marriage is to perform your ceremony.
Fire her for Willful Dereliction of Duty.
But what if Matt Drudge and Ann Coulter want to marry?
Judge Parker should either resign or be fired.
Her job is to uphold the law. This does not include things she wants to be the law.
Why would anybody want to have that guy at their wedding?
These people are too stupid. I guess its okay when leftists violate the law.
Dallas is now "Austin" North.
You and everyone else knew this was coming, didn’t you?
It’s like everything else the left does, in increments -
asks for tolerance
demands acceptance
uses gov’t to punish non-acceptance
uses gov’t to make you pay for their choices
uses gov’t to enforce their intolerance on you
forces compliance from others to choose only their choices
GUILTY!
Well, they elected her, now they can unelect her.
