Wasserman Schultz Statement on Fla. Same-Sex Marriage Case Development
12/03/14 WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz (FL-23) released the following statement today after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals declined to extend a stay related to Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage, paving the way for marriages to begin January 6th, 2015:
“Our current state law against same-sex marriage is an incredible miscarriage of justice. It is sad. It is cruel. It is unfair. And while the 11th Circuit has yet to rule on the merits of the case, its decision today not to extend the stay put in place by the lower court is a very good sign that Florida’s same-sex marriage ban appears headed for the ash heap of history. We still have a ways to go toward complete justice, but today we have taken a big step in the right direction, our hearts led by the mantra ‘love is love’.
“Today is a great day in Florida history, and January 6th, 2015 will be an even better one.”
