Texas judges can refuse to marry gay couples without punishment, court says
The decision stems from a judge in a tiny Texas county who refuses to officiate gay weddings.
NEW: On Friday, the Texas Supreme Court made a comment on the state judicial code of conduct that says judges who refuse to conduct gay weddings "on a sincerely held religious belief" won't be sanctioned. It's part of a messy legal fight over gay marriage in Texas.

Travel is one of lifeβs greatest joys, but for many LGBTQ+ professionals in their 30s and 40sβespecially those living in high-cost big cities like NYCβit can sometimes feel like a luxury that clashes with long-term financial goals.

If you listen to the actual audio, it's very clear that she didn't misspeak. She was told she was wrong, but she refused to listen and continued to double and triple down.
The least she can do is apologize and endorse the Democratic nominee even though he's Muslim. Whether she will is unclear.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
Itβs cowardice.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

maybe iβm late to the party, but iβm beginning to feel very worried about the levers and controls technology (and its overlords) has which is overpowering our societal consciousness.
how do we effectively function in society today so we remain human and pure and independent of outside influence?

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
