Same-Sex Pairs in Florida Say Jubilant ‘I Dos’
Wedding ceremonies began and ended in the middle of the night in Fort Lauderdale and Key West, and hundreds of other marriages played out under blue skies in Miami Beach and Orlando, as Florida completed its long, arduous journey Tuesday to become the 36th state to legalize same-sex marriage.
Along the way, the third-largest state, the home of antigay crusades in the 1970s, became a vivid symbol of the extraordinary changes that have shifted the landscape of marriage in America. Only six years ago, Florida passed a constitutional amendment to ban on gay marriage, garnering 62 percent of the vote.
Arms interlocked, about 20 gay and lesbian couples, too eager to wait any longer, were married in a five-minute ceremony at 3 a.m. on Tuesday at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. “Do you take each other to be your spouse for life?” asked Howard C. Forman, the Broward County clerk of courts, emphasizing the word “spouse.” Together, the couples uttered their individual vows to each other. “I pronounce you legally married,” Mr. Forman said. With that, the couples and their families and friends roared, cheered and clapped, and Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E” blasted into the room.
