Quick research.....

Florida already has a same sex marriage ban but now they want to amend the state constitution. In the past few years this issue has been used as a wedge or values issue to try and get out the base.

Some companies, and mine is one, offer healthcare benefits to unmarried partners...however this does come with a price. The company employee has to pay taxes on that benefit both at the Federal and State level.

Here are some links regarding the issue.
