A Texas judge who refused to officiate same-sex weddings has won a legal victory worth more than $640,000 after a years-long dispute over religious freedom. The ruling prevents Texas’ Judicial Conduct Commission from disciplining her for declining to marry same-sex couples on religious grounds. The move is being viewed as a significant decision with potentially wider implications. Critics warn it could encourage other judges to follow suit while adding momentum to ongoing legal efforts challenging marriage equality in the United States.
