Judges in Texas Can Now Refuse to Perform Same

The Texas Supreme Court has issued a ruling that some say could have major a major impact moving forward.

Judges in Texas can now refuse to perform same-sex marriages after the Texas Supreme Court ruled this past Friday. The ruling comes after a years-long battle over one Texas judge's desire for a religious exemption.

According to FOX4News in Dallas, the ruling amended Canon 4 of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct and was signed on October 24. This doesn't mean that gay marriages are now longer allowed in Texas or that they won't be performed. The comment reads this way:

"It is not a violation of these canons for a judge to publicly refrain from performing a wedding ceremony based upon a sincerely held religious belief."
