Florida's marriage ban was ruled unconstitutional last week by a federal judge who compared the ban to now-defunct laws against interracial marriage.
"When observers look back 50 years from now, the arguments supporting Florida's ban on same-sex marriage, though just as sincerely held, will again seem an obvious pretext for discrimination," Judge Robert Hinkle wrote in his decision, which was stayed pending an expected appeal from Attorney General Pam Bondi.
