In this file photo from July 2004, Dianne Hensley, left, from Waco, with the McLennan County Collaborative Abstinence Project, sits in the audience and waits her turn to speak to members of the State Board of Education in Austin, Texas. Ms. Hensley, who has gone on to be a justice of the peace, is under fire for her personal policy of declining to officiate same-sex civil marriage ceremonies. Judge Hensley cites her religious beliefs, and says she always refers interested parties to other individuals who are capable of and willing to officiate the ceremony. (AP Photo/Harry Cabluck)
