A Monroe County circuit judge overturned Florida’s marriage ban and gave the county clerk’s office until Tuesday to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Monroe County covers the Florida Keys. The lawsuit was brought by two Key West bartenders and other couples seeking to marry, according to the Miami Herald.
Steve Rothaus, who covers the LGBT beat for the Miami Herald, reported it’s unclear whether the state will appeal or seek in injunction.
Marriage is currently legal in 19 states, several counties in Colorado and in the District of Columbia. In addition, a number of people have married in several states such as Wisconsin, Indiana and Utah during a short window between a court ruling and a stay on the ruling.
