Gay Texas judge won’t marry straight couples
Tonya Parker, an African-American lesbian judge in Texas, refuses to marry straight couples until everyone in the state has the right to marry.
Turning away would-be newlyweds is “my opportunity to give them a lesson about marriage inequality in this state,” Parker told a meeting of the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas earlier this week.
She said it’s “oxymoronic” for her to perform a ceremony that can’t be performed for her.
Instead, she refers couples to other judges in the courthouse with an explanation 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,” she told the meeting.

A random Doctor Who rant that isn’t based on any particular thing I’ve seen recently but something that comes up a lot and always bugs me.
I really hate it when anyone singles out a specific companion and says something like, “Oh, finally someone who’s the Doctor’s equal.” Or just generally says…
“Generally, it’s incredibly sexist to say that women [Rose or Martha, for example] can’t be in love and be strong and have agency at the same time, especially since the same standards aren’t there for men. No one says Rory is weak for loving Amy even though we couldn’t go an episode without being shown his insecurities about her love. The Doctor moped about for a whole season, but it’s always about the companions being unable to be his equal.”
NICE
I feel slightly bad for Amy for just being the one that waited.
It seems like such a sad title to have.
Why not the girl who made him come back? The girl who kept living? The girl who believed?
