Extremely radical Black lesbian "judge" in Dallas uses her judicial bench to lecture straight couples about her perception of state discrimination against homos before turning them away! Refuses to marry straight couples!!! Must see video and hear her bizarre comments!!! nbcdfw.com Update: Judge Parker released the following statement to the media on Thursday afternoon. I faithfully and fully perform all of my duties as the Presiding Judge of the 116th Civil District Court, where it is my honor to serve the citizens of Dallas County and the parties who have matters before the Court. Performing marriage ceremonies is not a duty that I have as the Presiding Judge of a civil district court. It is a right and privilege invested in me under the Family Code. I choose not to exercise it, as many other Judges do not exercise it. Because it is not part of our duties, some Judges even charge a fee to perform the ceremonies. During the meeting, Parker also mentioned other steps she takes to promote equality for gay, lesbian, and transgender issues, including adding the word "partner" to the list of people the jury is not supposed to communicate about the ongoing case with and admonishing an attorney who used the terms "child molester" and "homosexual" interchangeably.
