If you lived in Florida in 2008 and voted in the election in November, you had the right to decide on the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. As I remember, it passed with 61% of the vote.
According to the Tampa Bay Times "Since 2008, Florida's Constitution has banned same-sex marriage. Gov Rick Scott, reacting to the rulings said: "It impacted federal law, not state law...As the governor of this state, I'll uphold the law of the land, and that's the law of our state."
