Labor Day Weekend Must Do’s
 
Celebration Of Marriage Equality Rally
    With a church full of celebrating revelers about Florida’s recent court rulings by a Federal Judge stating; Florida’s ban of Same Sex Marriage is unconstitutional!  MCC Tampa was front and center with a full array of local politicians including US Representative Cathy Castor, Hills Cty Comm Kevin Beckner, Tampa City Councilwoman Lisa Montelione and the headliner Florida plaintiff against the state of Florida, Arlene Goldberg of Ft Myers. Her partner, Carol Goldwasser who passed away recently after 47 years together, spoke and had the rallying crowd in tears.
    When observers look back 50 years from now, the arguments supporting Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage, though just as sincerely held, will again seem an obvious pretext for discrimination,” wrote U.S District Judge Robert L. Hinkle of Tallahassee. “Observers who are not now of age will wonder just how those views could have been held.”
    After a determination of Federal Court rulings, a final decision will be announced  soon as to when same sex couple can legally marry in Florida..
