Official Warning Issued To Judge Who Refused To Perform Same Sex Weddings

The Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct has issued a public warning to McLennan County Justice of the Peace Dianne Hensley, who refused to perform same-sex marriages because of her Christian beliefs. She said she’s entitled to a religious exemption.  In its warning, the Commission said Hensley cast doubt on her capacity to act impartially to persons appearing before her as a judge due to the person’s sexual orientation.
