County judge overturns Fla. marriage ban

Florida's ban on marriage equality was ruled unconstitutional last Thursday in a decision that applies only to the county that covers the Florida Keys. 

Six couples had filed a lawsuit challenging the ban. Circuit Judge Luis Garcia ordered that marriage licenses could be issued to same-sex couples starting Tuesday. The office of Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that it intends to appeal the ruling.
