Dallas County civil Judge Tonya Parker, a lesbian, is making national news after announcing she won’t perform marriage ceremonies in her court until gay couples can legally wed in Texas.

According to the Dallas Voice, Parker says:

I don’t perform marriage ceremonies because we are in a state that does not have marriage equality … 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.

Parker announced her decision while giving a speech on Tuesday at the monthly meeting of the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas, of which she is a member, the Dallas Voice says. See the YouTube video below:

Parker’s decision, however, had little fallout in Dallas legal circles, the Dallas Morning News says.

“She doesn’t have to marry anyone and … she’s chosen not to marry anyone. I think it’s entirely within her prerogative; it’s consistent within the law,” Richard Sayles, a Dallas attorney, told the newspaper.

At least one conservative group also supported her, according to the Morning News report.

“This is a decision that is up to her,” said Tracye Bradford, president of the Dallas Eagle Forum. “If she’s obeying the law as far as what her job calls for her to do, then anything that she does beyond that is up to her own conscience to guide her, and we have nothing to do with that.”
