Texas Defies Same-Sex Marriage Ruling Texas state officials have criticized the US Supreme Court decision giving same-sex couples the right to marry nationwide. The attorney general of Texas says last week's decision did not overrule constitutional "rights of religious liberty," and therefore officials performing wedding services can refuse to perform them for same-sex couples if it is against their religious beliefs. Zlatica Hoke reports on the controversy. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2842587.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2842587.html
