Equality Florida Institute and four same-sex couples will deliver 7,000 petitions – signed by Floridians – urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to stop wasting taxpayer resources defending the state’s discriminatory exclusion of gay and lesbian couples from marriage.
On July 17, Monroe County Chief Circuit Judge Luis M. Garcia declared Florida’s ban on marriage equality unconstitutional, while recent polling (http://bit.ly/1o9u0Ts) indicates that a full 57% of Floridians now support the freedom to marry for same-sex couples.
To date more than a half dozen Attorneys General in states across the country – including Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia – have declined to defend bans that single out same-sex couples and deny their families the safety, protection and responsibility that comes with marriage. Equality Florida Institute stands with the majority of Floridians urging Attorney General Bondi to do the same.
The petition, which will continue to collect signatures in advance of Thursday morning, may be found here(www.eqfl.org/bondipetition).
Petitions will be delivered Thursday July 24th at 9:00 AM At Office of the Attorney General
Florida State Capitol, Tallahassee
