Sorry, but I have to say that this is awful. It's crazy how gays have convinced the legal system that they are in the right and it's all normal. I have been married to my wife for 35 years. Marriage is between a man and woman only.
Not to the courts.
Don't gay bash me please! You have the right to your opinion. We do too. Finally after 23 years with my love we can have our marriage recognized, thanks to a fair court system that recognizes that gays also have the rights to all the same rights and laws as heterosexuals do now. We married in MA a few summers ago, but now finally FL has to recognize our marriage and are forced to allow me to put my spouse on my health insurance like all heterosexuals were allowed to do for years.
You have the right to your opinion, however gays have fought long and hard for equal rights, and finally we have them. Thank God! Gays have been discriminated for year, and will likely always be treated like freaks, but thankfully our courts and law will allow us to have all the same rights now that you took for granted based on your religion and beliefs. I go to church every week too, I read the bible and try to be a good Christian too, just because I was born gay, God is good to us, I never lost hope that He would bring us justice.
God bless America and every Gay in FL, the USA, and world. We need your prayers and love. We are more like all of you than you think. We have respected you for years, our parents too, now respect us and our rights to have the same things you do. We are more alike than different.

THANK GOD FOR THE COURTS! Blacks, the disabled and mentally challenged, and now gays can finally have all the same rights and protections, due to the courts here in the USA. A majority cannot hold a minority down by a vote, a minority would never win when left up for a vote with the majority voting against a minority, it takes a court, it should have. Thank God we have a fair court who serves ALL people, not just the majority, usually who discriminate and are not inclusive or ALL.
The logic of many of you all is flawed.
"Not to the courts."
It's not "gay bashing" to have an opinion on whether gays should marry. Gays have totally redefined the idea of marriage and guess what, they've won and the courts agree. It's about legal rights, property rights, social security benefits, etc.
