Florida County Asks Judge To Clarify Gay Marriage Ruling
By Bill Cotterell
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Dec 23 (Reuters) – A tiny county in the northern Florida Panhandle, facing the prospect of court-ordered gay marriage going into effect next month, filed an emergency motion on Tuesday asking a federal judge to clarify whether it must marry all gay couples.
The request follows statewide confusion over a U.S. Supreme Court order last week declining to extend a stay on a ruling that found the state’s same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional. The order cleared the way for gay marriages to begin on Jan. 6.
