    As of today, at about 1:30PM Florida has had its first gay marriage in the Miami-Dade County!

    Miami-Dade County became the first place in Florida to allow same-sex couples to marry on Monday, half a day before a gay-marriage ban that has been ruled unconstitutional is lifted in the rest of the state.

    Weddings began around 1:30 p.m., less than three hours after Circuit Judge Sarah Zabel lifted the legal stay she had placed on her sweeping July decision declaring the ban discriminatory.

    Two of the six couples who had sued — Catherina Pareto and Karla Arguello of Coconut Grove, and Jeff and Todd Delmay of Hollywood — were the first to be married, by Zabel herself.

    Cited from the Miami Herald at miamiherald.com

    This means that there are currently only 15 states (To my knowledge) That do not accept the freedom to marry. Which is a huge stride from only a few years ago! What do you guys think?

    Wonderful! Now if the SCOPUS would hurry up and actually do something, we could have almost all of the bans in a majority of states overturned. :slight_smile:

    The Gay Agenda is going all according to the plan... One step closer to the final goal: Equality.

    (Flashdance plays) I sing along with it and 1000 other guys are dancing in the background shirtless. I walk into the massive group pointing at them and continuing to sing passionately. America is like wtf is happening in Australia. All the gay guys in America watching the happenings join in from home. I then end with my own lyrics

    we are no so free
    To be who we wanna be
    And get together and make sweet love(Isaac Hayes voice) in Florida
    There ain't a man I won't touch.
    Seal the day with a kiss in church
    I wanna feel you sexy man
    Put on your wedding dress

    'Bout time! It's amazing how quick the tide has turned in our favor. We went from having a handful of states with equal marriage to now having the large majority. Fantastic! :grin:
