Marriage equity in Florida ... coming soon?
I just can't get my mind wrapped around that. I thought Florida would be the very last (well maybe second last after Utah) to fall. Seems like the states which tried so hard to limit our rights by passing laws banning same sex marriage have put themselves in the most vulnerable positions regarding overthrow of these laws. Life is so ironic ... and beautiful. I stand in amazement, Smooches, Keri |

Ms T,
Just out of curiosity, why just Monroe County? ... and once again, thank you so much for your work on this thread for years now. You rock! Smooches, Keri |

The lawsuit just won in Monroe County was filed before a State Judge instead of a Federal Court Judge who only has authority to make judgements for his area, not the entire State as a Federal Judge would. Last edited by MsTinkerbelly; 07-18-2014 at 03:21 PM. |

Oklahoma
Today the 10th Circut Court of Appeals (same as Utah) upheld the lower Federal Courts decision to end the ban on marriage equality in Oklahoma.
A stay was immediately issued as appeals to the State Supreme Court or US Supreme Court are expected to be filed very soon. Another step forward! |

Florida again
The ban on same-sex marriage was struck down in Florida again yesterday, this time in Miami/Dade county. The decision was stayed immediately, so Florida like several others will probably be waiting until the US Supreme Court does/doesn't take up the case in 2015.
Does anyone know if there are other States that have to go county by county to get equality? Last edited by MsTinkerbelly; 07-26-2014 at 09:41 AM. |

Alaska
Yesterday the Alaska Supreme Court gave same-sex couples access to survior benefits...interesting as they do not have marriage equality as of yet.
** went back to read story The Judge said in the decision, that the constitutional ammendment against same-sex marriage that he voters put in place, only says one man/one woman marriage, it says nothing about survivor benefits. Alaska also ruled a while back, the same-sex couples were elegible for the same property tax exemptions that hetro couples were enjoying. Last edited by MsTinkerbelly; 07-26-2014 at 09:50 AM. |

Virgina
The 4th Circuit Court of appeals agreed with the lower Court ruling, which said that the same-sex marriage ban voted in for Virgina was unconstitutional.
Marriage is still on hold for another 21 days, or less should an appeal be filed. |
