Same-sex couples are getting married across Florida today after a state judge lifted a temporary ban on the unions. After lifting the ban, Judge Sarah Zabel presided over two same-sex weddings, including one between plaintiffs Cathy Pareto and Karla Arguello.

Karla Arguello: “We’ve been together for 15 years, and it just means now that our family is recognized like every other family, that our love is just as good enough as everybody else’s, and that our son is finally going to have a family that’s not a second-class citizen, that he has a family like everybody else that deserves the same respect and deserves the same dignity as everybody else.”

As many as 14 counties in Florida have reportedly opted to end all courthouse weddings rather than comply with the ruling and provide weddings for same-sex couples. Florida is now the 36th state to allow same-sex marriage.
